  "account": "The inaugural issue of NIBSS Digest, issued by Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System Plc (NIBSS), features a unique assembly of regulators, bankers, fintech experts, and technology specialists. The publication, themed \"Redefining the Future of Payments,\" stands out from typical corporate brochures by not focusing on the industry's achievements or transaction volumes, but rather on asking what the future holds. NIBSS Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Premier Oiwoh, sets the tone with a perspective that infrastructure rarely garners attention until it fails, emphasizing the importance of looking beyond the visible transaction to the underlying machinery. The Digest, designed as a quarterly forum, examines how code, policy, and institutional governance are reshaping commerce across Nigeria and the continent. Its contributors include a mix of regulators, commercial bankers, payment infrastructure specialists, fintech operators, African payment practitioners, and global technology experts, providing a diverse range of perspectives. The publication covers a broad spectrum of topics, from Nigeria's Payments System Vision 2028 to national payment stack, African interoperability, Open Banking, financial inclusion, and the technological architecture of trust.",
