Iwuno stressed the necessity of establishing a forward-thinking regulatory framework to accelerate the infusion of blockchain technology into diverse sectors of the economy.


Former President Muhammadu Buhari approved the National Blockchain Policy in May. Iwuno told Cointelegraph that Nigeria is fully equipped to implement blockchain technology:“This is the first time we have a full house of industry stakeholders, regulators and operators. We are ready for full adoption now, and the blockchain policy initiated by the government positions Nigeria as a trailblazer in the continent’s digital economy landscape if fully implemented.”


According to the National Blockchain Policy, the potential of blockchain technology is far-reaching. The blockchain policy document states that the technology holds the potential to drive economic growth, foster job creation and tackle the long-standing issue of financial inclusion.
