 Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, has a large percentage of its population who are unbanked. According to a report by a World Bank, only 40% of Nigerians have access to formal financial services. This leaves a staggering 60% of the population unbanked, meaning they have no access to banking services, such as saving accounts, loans or insurance. There are various reasons why such a high percentage of Nigerians are unbanked. Firstly, the lack of financial education and awareness is a major one. Many Nigerians are not aware of the benefits of formal financial services or do not understand how they work. Additionally, some are deterred by the high fees associated with banking services, or the stringent requirement for opening a bank account. And just recently Intel Point Nigeria released a report on the Nigerian financial services market with some interesting findings, which among other things showed penetration of financial facilities and reasons why people do not have a bank or mobile money account. Today on the show I will be talking with the lead researcher as we X-ray Nigeria's financial inclusion drive and keep an eye on how we can meet the unbanked population. Welcome to Business Insights and Plus TV Africa, I am Justin Akadounia. Welcome back before we get into the discussion proper. Lecky Port LFTZ Enterprise Limited, the promoters of Lecky Deep Sea Port has commissioned a state of the arts canon facility, also known as non-intrusive inspection system, to fast trap the examination and evacuation of containers from the port. The world-class facility was commissioned by the customs area controller Nigeria Custom Service, Lagos Free Zone Command, Dorothy, or Mark Bain, who details in this report. It is confidence that the scanning facility would significantly optimize the inspection process and increase cargo turnaround time at the port. She commanded Lecky Port for ensuring that the customs personnel to carry out the scanning were trained with the requisite skills to operate the state of the arts facility. This is what Nigeria Custom Service is really, really, really happy about. Now that we know that we have this, we are sure that we will not have delays again and we will also have so many containers examined at the same time. In its welcome remarks, the managing director, chief executive officer of Lecky Port, Mr Du Ronggang, said the facility would enhance ease of doing business, facility trade, prevent port congestion, boost revenue generation to the government, and improve national security. Ronggang attributed the progress recorded in the operations of the container terminal at the port and other milestones to the tremendous support received from all stakeholders, including the Nigerian Custom Service. He noted that Lecky Port, in collaboration with Lecky Free Port Terminal, would continue to do its best to shape the future of container handling in Nigeria and beyond by bringing greater efficiency and greater capacity to the market. Our business facilitates the trade, prevents the port congestion, and boosts the revenue generation to the government, especially for the national security. It's an amazing step forward. This 47 hectares terminal is a brand new terminal, big machines. Now we are about finalizing this automation system by commissioning those two scanning machines. The scanning team at the port proceeded to do a demonstration of the scanning facility to the admiration of the stakeholders present.
