Digital Currencies and Crypto Derivatives are part of the emerging currencies and New Payment Methods that are gaining acceptance in recent times. The Covid-19 Pandemic has escalated the use of these currencies.
Several African countries, and countries in the world, lack proper regulatory frameworks for Crypto Currencies and Crypto Derivatives hence building an ideal ecosystem for cybercrimes to thrive.
Against this backdrop, AGA-Africa in collaboration with the Lagos Business School and Fintech Association Nigeria (FINTECHNGR) held a two-day webinar from 2nd -3rd November, 2021 titled “Digital Currencies and Crypto Derivatives: Banking, Regulatory and Cybersecurity”.
The webinar was aimed at creating a platform for sharing knowledge of the intrinsic banking, regulatory and cybersecurity issues in both digital currency and crypto-assets/derivatives. This would equip participants with essential knowledge required in the investigation and prosecution of cybercrime and cryptocurrency related crimes in Nigeria.
The training was officially opened by Markus Green Esq. AGA-Africa Board Member with keynote speeches from Victor Banjo, Director Executive Education, Lagos Business School, Ade Bajomo, President of FINTECH Association, Nigeria and CSE Dein Whyte, Public Service on behalf of Abdulrasheed Bawa, Chairman Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
