What is eNaira?
Meanwhile legit.ng has earlier reported that in July, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) released the guidelines on eNaira.
The eNaira will be a non-interest bearing currency and won't serve as a hedge to escape inflation which many have used Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The Central Bank of Nigeria also noted Nigerians won't be charged by the financial institution for the utilisation of the eNaira through POS or the banks.
