FACAN Set To Onboard 50 Million Members On eNaira Platform

TECHDIGEST – The Federation of Agricultural Commodity Association of Nigeria (FACAN) the apex umbrella body for Agricultural Commodity Associations in the country has concluded a plan to register and onboard all its associations and members on the eNaira platform in a strategic partnership with Araba technologies Ltd (Arabatech).

The plan is a fallout from the recently concluded national meeting of the association’s National Working Committee and presidents of Associations under its jurisdictions held on the 29th of September this year, with the active participation of Arabatech and CBN representatives. Mr. Victor Iyama, the National President of FACAN reiterates the hope that the eNaira will be of immense benefit to all the members of the Association in the long run down to the grassroots level since some members are traders, or processors, while most of the members are the farmers at the grassroots. He charges the members present to educate their members at the grassroots as has been done now. The President is particularly happy for the use of *997# USSD without the need for BVN or NIN for farmers at the grassroots level to be onboarded. The statement was made during the formal launching of the eNaira onboarding partnership with Arabatech.

The CBN team is led by Mr, Joseph Angaye the deputy director of IT and CBDC officials, while the Arabatech Team is led by Mr. Segun Olugbile who is the MD/CEO of the company.
