Chief Executive Officer of Bizi Mobile Cashless Agency, Alhaji Aminu Bizi disclosed this while fielding questions from newsmen on the sidelines of a two-day CBN fair in Kaduna.
He said: “We have trained more than 12,000 agents and each has not less than two staff working under them.
He added that as a dedicated consultant, CBN invites him everywhere it goes to promote cashless banking.” Responding to a question on why the Kaduna State Commissioner of Women Affairs hinted on a partnership with his agency, he said he was not surprised.
“I am not surprised, because I appreciate the effort of his Excellency in ensuring the state is digitized.
We had cooperation with the ministry of women affairs, very soon, a programme is coming up,” he said.
On their plans to further promote cashless banking, he said that their target is the rural areas adding that: “We are focusing on the grassroots because in the cities there are banks, but in rural areas no banks,” he added.
