Flora the Digital Banker, an influencer, has gone popular after claiming that the Nigerian Naira will be replaced with a unified Eco currency across West Africa beginning in 2027.
According to Flora, the Eco currency will be shared by 12 West African countries that are members of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
“Are you aware that from 2027, there is not going to be a currency called Naira? It is going to be replaced by a currency called the Eco. The Eco-currency is a combination of currencies from 12 African countries… This Eco-currency is to mirror the type that is obtained in the European Union. All the countries in the EU are using the same currency. So this is just a replica of that model.”
The Eco currency is scheduled to be adopted by 12 nations, including Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Togo, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Côte d’Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone, The Gambia, and Cabo Verde.
The currency was apparently designed to foster price stability and ease cross-border transactions throughout the region.
Flora expressed concern about who would handle the new currency and the danger of outside powers taking control.
“There are questions of who is going to print the currency? Who is going to manage the currency? Serious concerns of outside powers controlling these currencies. Nigeria is pushing to ensure that France does not have control over this currency, because some of these African countries are using currencies tied to France.”
She also advised residents to express their questions and concerns now, rather than waiting until the policy is enacted.
“If you have concerns, if you have questions, if you have any reservation about this policy, this is the time to raise your concerns. Don’t wait for 11:45 when the policy is already implemented before you now start to say you want to protest. This is the time for us to come together, read this report, let’s raise the concerns right now. 11:45 is not the best time to protest. That is five minutes to go. It may be already too late.”
Flora closed by appealing for widespread awareness of the impending transformation.
“So please share this video, tell everybody around you that from 2027 we are going to have a single currency alongside 11 other African countries.”
