Reportedly in a Facebook post, Osita Nwanisobi, a spokesperson for the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), announced the launch of much-hyped e-naira central bank digital currency (CBDC) has now been postponed to a later date. The spokesperson’s announcement came in less than 24 hours before the CBN was scheduled to launch the digital currency. However, Nwanisobi points the clash of the CBDC’s rollout with Nigeria’s independence day.
