And so, when we sensitise the people on such ponzi schemes and they begin to see some of these things, they will know. The other thing is for us to work with security agencies to ensure that those who defraud Nigerians must be brought to book\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have done quite a number in this regard. We work with security agencies to ensure that those who claim what they are not, are brought to book\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the most important thing, like I keep saying, is that we are the greatest security. There is no way somebody will come and tell you that he has a product that will give you 10 per cent every month and that translates to 120 per cent per annum\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere is he going to make the money from? What kind of business is the person doing? Is the person regulated?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the E-Naira launched by President Muhammadu Buhari recently, he said \u201cthe issue of security and dependability of the e-naira platform is guaranteed, guaranteed because the technology uses cryptography encrypted with two factors authentication\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe E-Naira project is a journey, we expect that there are going to be minor challenges and I can tell you where some of these things are coming from\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In an address, the Abakaliki Controller, CBN, Mr. Chris Adayi decried low South East participation in various economic initiatives of the central bank.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Ajayi said the low participation of the initiatives by the South East has remained so for years despite efforts to enlighten and sensitise them on those initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>He urged people in the zone to take advantage of the various CBN economic initiatives and policies to enhance their economic growth and wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>The CBN fair has served as a veritable platform to enlighten the public on the various initiatives of the bank.<\/p>\n<p>This sensitisation fair like others before it, is anchored on the pursuit of sound economic policies that will engender economic growth through the financial leverage that these initiatives provide\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these initiatives include the payment system initiative, real sector initiative, financial inclusion, consumer rights, grievance redress mechanism and a host of others\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are all aware of the launch of the CBN digital currency known as e-naira by the president on October 25, 2021. It is my sincere hope that all questions regarding any grey area would be adequately addressed in this fair\u201d.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Director, corporate communications department, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Osita Nwanisobi has said that the bank was collaborating with security agencies in the country to fish out and prosecute&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":87751,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
