On Techpoint Digest, we discuss NIBSS going to court over ₦13.66 billion glitch, this Nigerian teen fixing freelancing with AI, and Ethio Telecom making history with Ethiopia’s first IPO.
While Nigeria's NIBSS scrambles through courts to recover ₦13.66 billion from a banking glitch, the real story isn't the error. It's how Africa's most sophisticated fintech ecosystem still relies on legacy infrastructure that would make Silicon Valley blush. This isn't just a Nigerian problem; from Kenya's M-Pesa outages to South Africa's banking downtimes, the continent's digital payment revolution is built on foundations that can't handle the weight of our ambitions.
