Nwanisobi also revealed that the CBN will introduce the eNaira, a digital counterpart of Nigeria’s legal tender with the same value as fiat naira, at a press conference.

In terms of minting and issuing of the eNaira, he added that the CBN is the central authority, while banks and other financial service providers will be involved in its distribution.
