Olugbenga Agboola has signaled the company’s interest in supporting Nigeria’s maritime transformation agenda through digital payment infrastructure and cross-border financial technology solutions.

Agboola disclosed this following a meeting with Nigeria’s Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, where discussions focused on opportunities within the country’s expanding blue economy sector.

According to Agboola, the newly established Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy has a broad mandate aimed at transforming Nigeria’s maritime sector into a major driver of economic growth through port modernization, indigenous shipping development, and the unlocking of ocean-based economic resources.

The Flutterwave CEO noted that achieving these ambitions would also require strong digital infrastructure capable of supporting seamless financial transactions and efficient port operations.

Agboola said Flutterwave is prepared to partner with the ministry by providing secure, compliant, and multi-currency payment solutions designed to support the digitization of maritime and port-related activities.

He added that enhanced digital payment systems could help improve operational efficiency, facilitate cross-border trade, and contribute to broader national economic growth.

The meeting was also attended by Flutterwave’s Public Sector Business Head, Olufunmilayo Olaniyi, and Stanley Uzochukwu, whose company currently utilizes Flutterwave’s payment infrastructure across its operations.

The engagement reflects increasing collaboration between Nigeria’s technology sector and public institutions as the country seeks to modernize critical industries and expand digital economic opportunities.
