The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board in conjunction with the Central Bank of Nigeria has said that e-naira is the preferred payment mode chosen for 2023 UTME registration.<\/p>\n

The CBN Director, IT, Architecture and Strategy, Rakiya Mohammed, who was represented by Abdul Shedrack, made this known while speaking with the board and its financial partners.<\/p>\n

She explained that the adoption of the e-naira would eliminate extortion<\/a> of candidate, adding that it would reduce the overall indirect cost of cash transactions on the broader community while blocking leakages in the board\u2019s transactions.<\/p>\n

She added that it would also promote the digitisation of cash and facilitate the development of e-commerce, enable a reliable mechanism for issuance of bulk JAMB e-PINs, as well as support and promote the implementation of government policies.<\/p>\n

Mohammed further allayed fears explaining that the e-naira is the digital version of the naira currency saying it had equal value and is backed by law. Adding that it would function as a safe and efficient alternative means of payment which is seamless and fortified against any form of abuse.<\/p>\n

Candidates are therefore urged to download and install the eWallet from its website or via Google Play Store or Apple IOS Store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
