The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has assured Nigerians that its digital currency, eNaira, is secure and dependable.

Spokesperson of the apex bank, Osita Nwanisobi gave the assurance on Thursday while speaking at the ongoing CBN-Fair in Abakaliki, Ebonyi state.

He said: “The issue of security and dependability of the e-Naira platform is guaranteed. It is guaranteed because the technology uses cryptographic encrypted two factors of authentication. And so, the issue of whether the platform is secured is taken, as it is secured,”
