<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bayo Onanuga serves as an adviser to the President on information and strategy. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">He claimed these crypto exchanges were partly responsible for the naira’s continued depreciation and its downfall in the forex market.</span></p> 
<h5><strong>Nigerian Presidential Aide Seeks Binance Ban</strong></h5> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some others believe that Binance and other platforms aid illicit financial activities within the country.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Onanuga, in a <a href="https://twitter.com/aonanuga1956/status/1760304339988484297?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1760304339988484297%7Ctwgr%5E97faf5f2c23d8c10e4c76d54141cc2f8d8d1635b%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcointelegraph.com%2Fnews%2Fbinance-presidential-adviser-nigerian-ban" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> on X, claimed most Nigerian users on Binance were manipulating the currency and were being unpatriotic. He went on to call on the country’s financial crimes watchdog, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), to take swift action against these exchanges.&nbsp;</span></p> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition, Onanuga urged the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to sanction these platforms as protective measures. He wrote, “The EFCC and the CBN should move against these platforms trying to manipulate our national currency to Ground Zero. Crypto should be banned in our country, or else this bleeding of our currency will continue unabated.”</span></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition, Onanuga urged Nigeria to ban Binance due to its regulatory issues abroad and its influence on the naira’s pricing. Recall that Binance has faced <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/cryptocurrency-news/idaho-proposes-bitcoin-custody-trade-protection-bill/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">difficulties </a>in the US, the Netherlands, Greece, and other countries.&nbsp;</span></p>

</blockquote> 
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, responding to these claims, Binance clarified that its platform is “market-driven and not intended to be a proxy for currency pricing in Nigeria.” The exchange also showed a willingness to cooperate with local authorities and capped the selling price of the USDT stablecoin on its P2P market.&nbsp;</span></p> 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

<h5><strong>Nigerians Seek Other Alternatives</strong></h5> 
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some Nigerian crypto users said they were unable to access Binance and other exchanges on Wednesday, February 21. Binance, in an email sent to its Nigerian users, said its app remained accessible as the situation only affected its online exchange. The trading platform also assured users of the safety of their funds and its commitment to resolving the ongoing situation.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nigerians turned to crypto and platforms like Binance in 2021 following the country’s cryptocurrency ban. However, some users consider decentralized exchanges a safer alternative because centralized platforms are prone to censorship.&nbsp;</span></p>
