The Central Bank of Nigeria has said that all transactions conducted on the newly launched digital currency platform, eNaira will be free for 90 days.

The bank, however, stated that it will revert to its guide on applicable charges by banks and other financial and non-financial institutions at the end of the stated period.

The apex bank disclosed this in the framework titled, ‘eNaira Circular and Guidelines’ released on Monday.’
