Brand News Day Nigeria reports that the apex bank has finally fulfiled part of its promises over Nigeria’s first-ever digital currency, e-Naira which was launched on Monday by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
The eNaira was scheduled to be launched on October 1, 2021, but was moved due to a clog of activities billed for Nigeria’s 61st-anniversary celebrations.
Recall that a privately owned company has sued the apex bank for Infringement of Trademark and Violation for using the name, “eNaira”. This was revealed in a document, titled: “Infringement of Trademark & Violation of Corporate Name cease and desist Notification to the Central Bank of Nigeria,” the notice was signed by Olakunle Agbebi Esq for Olakunle Agbebi & Co .
According to the lawsuit, “For this reasons, our client has approached the Federal High Court in Suit No: FHC/AB/CS/113/2021 between ENAIRA PAYMENT SOLUTIONS LIMITED vs CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA to seek a restraining order including an order to restrain CBN from proceeding in the launch on 1st October 2021” .

A statement on the eNaira website explained the overall function of the currency and its value to Nigeria’s economy.
The statement read, “eNaira is a Central Bank of Nigeria-issued digital currency that provides a unique form of money denominated in Naira.
“eNaira serves as both a medium of exchange and a store of value, offering better payment prospects in retail transactions when compared to cash payments.”
