Before I will take our government seriously on issues relating to bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general, they should lift the ban on exchanges by removing the restrictions they placed on their various websites. Incase you don't know, you cannot access any crypto exchange in Nigeria without VPN, if you don't it, give it a try. That is because our government did that intentionally. When they lift this ban, then we will see them matching their words with actions. For now, we rather operate with care and keep our bitcoin activities as private as possible.
For me, I don't believe anything that comes out from the government concerning Bitcoin, they only talk about Bitcoin, they only change temporarily because of elections or they know what their it, Bitcoin has always be a torn in their flesh, even if they are doing it at the back corner.
