CBN mobilises women for e-Naira
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has taken the sensitisation drive on e-Naira to women during the Law Ladies Day programme in University of Lagos, Yaba, Lagos.
A statement said that the initiative was to further promote adoption of e-Naira to women, students, law students and other Nigerians who gathered for the 2023 Law Ladies’ Day programme.
In line with the law ladies’ day programme themed, ‘Defying stereotypes: Celebrating the different shades of femininity’, the CBN used the opportunity to reach out to students and others within the university campus to sensitise them on the benefits and importance of e-Naira transactions and why they should use the channel.
The Special Adviser Payment Systems to the Governor, CBN, Mary Fasheitan, who took women through the importance of e-Naira, advantages and opportunities the digital currency offered to the financial community and women, stated that it was high time women embraced e-Naira for transactions.
According to her, e-Naira offered financial freedom and women inclusivity where other financial instruments did not provide.
Fasheitan observed that the whole world was going digital, and CBN was responding appropriately to the innovation by introducing a lot of cashless policies, of which e-Naira was one.
She noted that the CBN was the first to introduce e-Naira in Africa and only the second in the world.
Fasheitan encouraged female law students to embrace e-Naira and transact with it because it was safe, secure and fully digitalized.
