Nigeria's Central Bank announced it has joined hands with Bitt to launch its own cryptocurrency called "eNaira". Bitt will help Nigeria build its own cryptocurrency while playing the role of a technical partner. The decision comes months after Nigeria barred banks and financial institutions from facilitating cryptocurrency transactions. According to Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele, eNaira would accelerate financial inclusions.
