FINTECH- Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is enticing youths in the state by floating the idea of cryptocurrency approval as he embarks on missions to canvass votes in a bid for re-election.
This is despite the indefinite ban placed on cryptocurrency commercial trading by the Buhari regime and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
With only a few days before the gubernatorial election, Sanwo-Olu has embarked on policy changes to entice young voters in Lagos.
Mr Sanwo-Olu said in a part of a video released by the governor ahead of the election that his government is committed to creating an enabling environment for cryptocurrency to thrive despite a ban on such.
“… and techpreneurs, we are committed to working with all stakeholders to promote the growth of tech and blockchain industry including cryptocurrency in Lagos state. We are proud of the achievements of our young people and we believe their success is a testament to the potential of our state, Mr Sanwo-Olu said in the clip as he continues on a journey to win people over.
Recall that the Lagos state government had, last week Saturday, commenced the process of releasing impounded vehicles to their owners free of charge without payment of fines, a move the state transportation commissioner, Dr Frederic Oladeinde said is to relieve Lagosions of the crunch of naira redesign policy.
