In a statement, Sabi’u Musa Haruna, school owner and proprietor, said:
“We have decided to accept cryptocurrency as school fees because the world today is tilting towards the system. We believe one-day digital money will gain more acceptance than paper money. The decision is aimed at easing the payment of school fees for the parents.”

The school made the decision contrary to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) caution against crytocurrencies which also saw the regulator ban all banks and deposit-taking firms from dealing in cryptocurrencies.
