The month of October was fruitful as the Nigeria fintech sector saw opportunities that can come out of NEAR ECOSYSTEM, we were able to interact with startups, blockchain hubs and individuals who saw blockchain as a solution. Currently we are in talks with various startups who want to see how they can integrate NEAR into the solutions they provide, more update will be provided soon
