But its iOS version can still be accessed on the Apple App Store.

Disappointed by the removal of the app on Google Playstore, some Nigerians had condemned the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for going to the market with a “premature product.”

Before the removal, the app had recorded over 100,000 downloads with thousands of people complaining of challenges associated with the system.
