The CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, promised Nigerians that digital currencies will have a place in the country during the 279th MPR meeting held today in Abuja, CBN’s Emefiele said

“We have carried out our investigation and we found out that a substantial percentage of our people are getting involved in cryptocurrency which is not the best. Don’t get me wrong, some may be legitimate but most are illegitimate.”

Under cryptocurrency and Bitcoin, Nigeria comes 2nd while on the global side of the economy, Nigeria comes 27th. We are still conducting our investigation and we will make our data available.”
