On Monday, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) officially debuted its digital currency, dubbed eNaira.
The eNaira was supposed to go live on October 1, 2021, but it was postponed owing to a backlog of events planned for Nigeria’s 61st anniversary festivities.
The Digital Currency has two apps: eNaira fast wallet and eNaira merchant wallet, both of which were released on Monday on the Google Playstore and Apple Store.
