Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN), says the eNaira application has so far recorded a total of 905,588
downloads.
The apex bank governor said this on Tuesday while speaking
with journalists after the committee’s meeting at the CBN headquarters in
Abuja.
Emefiele, while giving feedback on the eNaira application
since its introduction, said the eNaira in a year has almost a million mark on
downloads, but only 282,600 active users.
“So far 905,588 downloaded the app, out of it 282,600 are
currently active. So far, accounts of transactions have exceeded 1.49 million
worth over N3.484 billion and the breakdown is that 78,115 consumers to bank
worth about N1 billion and bank to customer of 90,760 transactions worth N945
million,” he said
“Consumer to consumer
transactions are what they bought value number of 35,800 worth about N480
million and consumer to merchant between 171,000 transactions worth over N387
million.
“We have seen downloads 13,136 wallets have so far been
created via the unstructured supplementary service data (USSD) channel that was
the channel we recently introduced about three-four weeks ago and we are happy
that progress has since been made.
“For e-commerce, we have seen like 9.946 percent increase
between July and September and this remains very encouraging. We believe the
eNaira is an alternative to you holding an analogue naira and so it is very
convenient.”
