Three Nigerians and a South African have been picked to act as board of Jack Dorsey’s Bitcoin Trust Fund. A fund set aside for the development of Africa and Asia.

Jack Dorsey went on Twitter to release the names of the members of the BTrust board, 3 of whom are Nigerians; Abubakar Nur Khalil, Obi Nwosu and Ojoma Ochai – the South African in the board is Carla Kirk-Cohen. 

The board members were selected from a total of 7,000 applicants.
