Abeokuta, Nigeria – In another strong push for grassroots financial education, Upesa, a leading digital wallet that allows individuals and businesses access to affordable, instant, and borderless payment, partnered with JT Connect, successfully held the second edition of its landmark digital finance outreach in Abeokuta. The program, which follows the first edition organized last month, once again brought together over 1,000 participants to learn about stablecoins, digital payments, and financial empowerment.
Building on the First Edition
This second edition built on the momentum of the inaugural event, deepening conversations around stablecoins, digital currencies, and the role of technology in everyday life. Participants, many of whom are new to the digital finance ecosystem, engaged in interactive sessions and practical demonstrations that showcased how the Upesa app can be used for secure, borderless, and instant payments.
The goal remains clear: to bridge the digital divide by taking education directly to communities that traditionally have little or no access to financial technology knowledge.
Transformative Impact on Grassroots Communities
Through expert-led discussions, the event simplified concepts such as the difference between stablecoins and Bitcoin, safe usage practices, and real-life payment applications in the Nigerian and African context.
By addressing myths and misconceptions surrounding digital assets, the program empowered attendees with knowledge that can be immediately applied in daily transactions, small businesses, and peer-to-peer payments.

Partnership for Change
Speaking at the event, Mr. Ojelola John, Founder of JT Connect, expressed his delight at the progress of the initiative:
“This second edition reaffirms that grassroots education is not just needed but demanded. People are eager to learn, and we are proud to be a channel through which life-changing financial knowledge is shared. We thank Upesa for their trust and for making JT Connect their partner in this transformative journey.”
The CEO of Upesa, Oluwafemi Boyejo, highlighted the program’s growing success, stating that a key highlight was the impact on grassroots education. Participants were introduced to the opportunities that come with the adoption of stablecoins. Through workshops and panel discussions, attendees gained deeper insights into how stablecoins are shaping digital payments, improving financial access, and unlocking new possibilities for trade and cross-border commerce across Africa.
These events not only created awareness but also fostered practical understanding of how digital payments can empower everyday lives, from local entrepreneurs to aspiring tech professionals.
At the heart of these conversations is Upesa’s role in driving this financial revolution. Upesa continues to provide:
- Simplified cross-border transactions, making payments faster and more convenient.
- Improved security, ensuring user funds and data remain safe at all times.
- High transaction speed, eliminating delays often experienced with traditional systems.
- Very low fees, making digital payments more affordable for individuals and businesses alike.
The success of these engagements demonstrates Upesa’s commitment to building a future-ready financial ecosystem where innovation meets inclusivity. As adoption grows, we remain dedicated to equipping communities with the tools, education, and services they need to thrive in the digital economy.
Global Relevance and Looking Ahead
With two editions completed in quick succession, this grassroots education series has already reached thousands of participants and continues to echo the global call for inclusive financial systems. Stablecoins, as emphasized during the event, are more than digital assets; they are tools for economic empowerment in Africa.
JT Connect confirmed that preparations are already underway for subsequent editions later this year, with expanded reach and deeper engagement in other Nigerian states.
