CRYPTOCURRENCY REGULATION IN NIGERIA
Nigeria’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced last month that it had put plans to regulate cryptocurrencies on hold in light of Nigeria’s central bank’s decision to ban them.
In 2018, the central bank said cryptocurrencies were not legal tender and that dealers and investors were not protected by law.
