Background of the Study
Financial technology (fintech) has revolutionized access to financial services, particularly in developing economies like Nigeria. With mobile banking, peer-to-peer lending, and blockchain-based financial systems, fintech has made financial services more inclusive, efficient, and accessible. As sustainability becomes a growing concern globally, fintech is increasingly being recognized as a tool that can direct investments toward projects that promote environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. In Nigeria, fintech platforms offer innovative solutions for funding sustainable projects such as renewable energy, agriculture, and affordable housing (Akinbola & Ogunjimi, 2023).
Despite the potential of fintech to drive sustainable investments, the adoption of green financing tools and ESG-focused investment platforms is still at an early stage in Nigeria. This study will explore how fintech can play a role in promoting sustainable investments in Nigeria, focusing on the challenges and opportunities in leveraging fintech platforms to support eco-friendly projects and investments in the country.
Statement of the Problem
Sustainable investment practices in Nigeria are often hindered by a lack of accessible financing options, limited investor awareness of sustainability issues, and a lack of suitable platforms for connecting investors with green projects. Fintech has the potential to address these barriers by providing an alternative source of funding for sustainable ventures, but its adoption remains limited. This study seeks to evaluate the role of fintech in fostering sustainable investments in Nigeria, identifying how fintech platforms can be used to attract capital for sustainable projects and address environmental challenges.
