Nigeria has been trying to get more citizens to adopt its national digital currency, eNaira since it was introduced last year under the slogan ‘Same Naira, More Possibilities'. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is reportedly looking to allow people to use the eNaira for day-to-day payments such as booking flight tickets and paying utility bills. The aim is to popularise the use of the Nigerian Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) among more people.

The CBN is considering an update to its CBDC next week, making it suitable for daily payments in the country, a report by Nigerian publication Vanguard said on May 9.

Nigeria's apex bank has partnered with a mobile banking firm called Bizi Mobile to facilitate user payments via its CBDC.
