Our decision to expand operations in Nigeria enables us to listen to our users more carefully and to continually ensure that their concerns are addressed.

The company has already appointed a Regional Manager for Nigeria while other positions are being filled. Nena Nwachukwu, Nigeria Regional Manager for Paxful, is an expert in the Bitcoin industry with nearly a decade of experience in the field. She will be responsible for managing business operations, strategic partnerships, improving awareness, and creating educational content for the business.
We’re excited to appoint a Regional Manager to take charge of the operations in Nigeria. This not only allows us to actively look for local FinTech partners to work with, but also create better accessibility for users and allow us to execute our plans for the market effectively.
