The eNaira enhanced services were created by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in partnership with ChamsMobile Ltd. and Super Agents to address the problems that the unbanked and underserved confront.

At a media conference on Thursday in Lagos, Mr. Bayo Akintoye, founder and CEO of Bullnet platform, introduced the innovation.

Given the current cash shortage in Nigeria, he claimed that the service, which is operated and powered by the Bullnet platform, was designed to address the difficulties felt by Nigerians.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), President Muhammadu Buhari introduced the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), the eNaira, in October 2021. It was created as part of the Giant Initiative project.

He claimed that in addition to providing users with advice on how to effectively use the eNaira to meet their needs and situations, they would also be active in teaching the general public about the CBDC concept and its advantages.

He claimed that they will play a crucial role in obtaining widespread acceptance, prompt adoption in both urban and rural areas, and resolving user issues.

According to Akintoye, the new invention would enable Nigerians living abroad to buy vouchers to load their wallets and send money straight to their loved ones, who could then use the eNaira immediately and effortlessly from anywhere in Nigeria.

Bullnet was praised for developing an indigenous innovation, however, Mrs. Rakiya Mohammed, Director of the Information Technology Department, CBN, emphasized that the eNaira was developed to assist the conventional banking ecosystem.

Mohammed, who was represented by Mr. Otaru Abdulkadir of the eNaira Project Giant Team, claimed that the USSD code was necessary because the purpose of the introduction of eNaira was to reach out to the economically disadvantaged.

According to her, CBN was able to use Bullnet to develop a means for those with poor internet access to finance their eNaira wallets and have secure wallets.

She claims that being able to transact without having to deal with the challenges of possibly having cash on hand or having to find one of those institutions out there will be beneficial.

She pleaded with the Bullnet team to make full use of all of their resources to push the adoption of the eNaira forward.

Also, she pleaded with parastatals, company owners, merchants, and others to adopt the eNaira as a platform for all of their transactions.

Mohammed emphasized that adopting the eNaira will improve financial literacy for all people and lower operating expenses for financial institutions.
