SiBAN’s vision in the region will not be realized without the cooperation of industry leaders in the blockchain sector. For the sake of proper adoption of the technology, the association participated in a number of stakeholder events in 2022 to educate people, leaders, and regulators.

In Nigeria, the blockchain sector has gained more traction as days count. More people want to know what blockchain technology means for them and how they can get involved. 

We’ve seen founders create solutions to problems that affect society at these events, which is a good signal to leaders in both public and private sectors to support these  blockchain-powered solutions. With blockchain, Nigeria can create new opportunities and boost its economy as an emerging market.

The diversity of knowledge-sets at these knowledge-driven and networking events is fermenting the next wave of collaborations that will result in more economic solutions.

Another event coming up is P2P Conference which will be held in August 2022. Based on popular demand, this will be the first conference organized by SiBAN and it will be annual.
