Slow Rate of Adoption of Digital Currency in Nigeria and the Possible Reasons

The rate of adoption of Digital Currency in Nigeria is actually improving but not as it would be if some negating factors were nonexistent. These negating factors include:

1. Internet Presence

Many Nigerians especially the uneducated ones are yet to come to terms with the internet and they see internet business as a scam.

They prefer to use ATM cards and do not mind or take into consideration the many benefits attached to digital currencies compared to other payment systems.

According to the Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC), the rate of internet penetration in Nigeria is 50.1%.

2. Underdevelopment

Some part of Nigeria is not developed and there is no access to the internet and even electricity in some of these areas and so, using digital currency is not possible in that kind of area.

There is the possibility of someone hacking another person’s wallet and there could sometimes be a high level and decline or incline. These get people scared because they do not want to be on the losing side.

4. Ignorance/Illiteracy

Some people do not know anything about Digital Currency and just conclude it is fake. Most of these people are uneducated and they believe only what they choose to believe not minding if it is true or not.
