CBN to enable eNaira for USSD operations

Nigerians, from next week, will be able to open an eNaira wallet and conduct transactions by simply using a designated USSD code on any phone.

To carry out these transactions, Nigerians will only have to dail *997 from their phones.

Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Godwin Emefiele, said these at the Grand Finale of the 2022 eNaira Hackathon in Abuja.

He said, “Nigerians, both banked and unbanked, will be able to open an eNaira wallet and conduct transactions by simply dialling *997 from their phones.
