I would think for this type of news it would be more concrete if it’s coming from a Nigerian news outlet. I am not doubting the source but I haven’t read anything like this coming out of Nigerian news sources I still stand to be corrected on my stand.
I was thinking the same. I have searched for the news from different official outlets and I have not seen it on any reputable media channel as yet, when you compare that with the news of restrictions in use of cryptos they were published everywhere at the time and easily verifiable.
Here's a link from a reputable Nigerian source:
https://businessday.ng/markets/article/nigeria-recognises-cryptocurrencies-as-securities-in-landmark-legal-shift/The day op posted this news, I searched online and I saw that Businessday also reported it. I thought it could be breaking news and in time other reputable Nigerian media outlets like The Punch, Vanguard, This day, Premium Times etc, would also publish it on their website, probably after verification. However, I'm surprised there's no reports from them yet except Businessday. It gets me thinking if this info is credible because news of this magnitude should be carried by all Nigerian popular media houses.
