The eNaira platform will not be accessible for a while, according to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
This was revealed by CBN in several tweets on Thursday, along with the announcement that the platform would soon be operational.
Additionally, it mentioned that platform upgrades are currently being made to enhance user experience.
CBN tweets read: “Dear valued customers, we apologize for the current unavailability of eNaira services, which is due to an ongoing improvement maintenance activity,” it tweeted.
“Our technical team is working hard to complete the enhancement process in the next few hours.
“While we regret any inconvenience customers may experience in the interim, we do appreciate your kind feedback and patience as we all strive to improve the user experience with the eNaira.
“We assure you that the eNaira platform will be back online soonest to serve you better. Please bear with us.”
Meanwhile, Flutterwave, Africa’s leading payments technology company, has added eNaira as a payment option for merchants, a move that could help boost the adoption of the digital currency.
Flutterwave said on Thursday that over one million merchants now accept naira payments from their customers.
“We… are confident that this number will grow further as we continue to innovate and expand,” Flutterwave said in a statement.
