In a bid to deepen the adoption of eNaira in the country, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has offered a five per cent discount to tri-cycles operators popularly known as Keke NAPEP as well as their customers, should they use the digital currency as means of payment.
The bank has announced the commencement of a nationwide awareness campaign to drive the adoption of the digital currency at the grassroots.
Speaking at the eNaira Onboarding programme for Keke NAPEP riders in Abuja, CBN Director, Information Technology Department, Hajiya Rekiya Mohammed, said the apex bank seeks to promote awareness and get people intimated with the new form of money and understand its use.
She said part of the objectives was to also unboard the people and guide them to make use of the digital money in a simplified way. The CBN director said, “We are here with the wider community of Keke NAPEP riders as our adoption drive covers all segments of the economy from government institutions, businesses, MSMEs and also day-to-day traders”
