An adviser to Nigeria’s president has called for a ban on Binance, KuCoin and other trading platforms in the country.
Bayo Onanuga — President Bola Tinubu’s adviser on information and strategy — took to the X social media platform to allege that the platforms manipulated the country’s fiat currency, the Nigerian naira, contributing to the ongoing decline of the currency in the forex market. This is coming amid speculations that the government is already considering a ban.
