The Central Bank of Nigeria’s digital currency, eNaira has recorded 200,000 users and N4 billion worth of transactions since it debuted in 2021.

This was disclosed by Mr Godwin Emefiele, the CBN Governor at the grand finale of the “eNaira Hackathon”.

The hackathon is a joint project between CBN and the African Fintech Foundry (AFF). The purpose of the event was to bring together teams of outstanding African entrepreneurs, developers, designers, solution developers and problem solvers to create creative solutions for increased eNaira adoption.

Emefiele said “Since its inauguration, eNaira had reached 840,000 downloads, with about 270,000 active wallets comprising more than 252,000 consumer wallets and 17,000 merchant wallets. In addition, volume and value of transactions has been remarkable reaching above 200,000 and N4 billion Naira respectively”

“The eNaira will make a significant positive difference to Nigeria and Nigerians. It was also developed to provide Nigerians with a cheap, safe and trusted means of payment. It is unlike the offline payments channels like agent networks, USSD, wearables, cards and near-field communication technology.

“The eNaira would give access to financial services to underserved and unbanked segments of the population,” he said.

He asserted that the eNaira-based products and services would increase Nigerians’ engagement in the digital economy and encourage the expansion of the budding Fintech sector.
