Chairman Bangida Ibrahim of Capital markets said,

“Like I said earlier during the second reading, we need an efficient and vibrant capital market in Nigeria. For us to do that, we have to be up to date [with] global practices.”

Ibrahim, former president of Nigeria was quoted as saying,

“It is not about lifting of the ban, we are looking at the legality: what is legal and what is within the framework of our operations in Nigeria.”

He also added that its not a u-turn on ban, but a good way to regulate cryptos in the country.

In February, 2021 the Nigerian government banned any kind of crypto activity in the country including trading. The Central Bank of Nigeria ordered to shut down accounts of people from banks who are found to be trading any digital currencies.
