The eNaira speed wallet application, which was pulled down from the Google Play store, is back online after 24 hours.

The app disappeared from the Google Play store on Wednesday after over 100,000 users had downloaded it.

The eNaira has two applications — eNaira speed wallet and eNaira speed merchant wallet.

Since the release of the applications, the app received negative reviews from Nigerians, who were disappointed with the tedious registration processes as part of the requirements.

TheCable had reported that Google Play could also remove an app from its store if such violated policies, including negative reviews.

Osita Nwanisobi, spokesperson of the CBN, told TheCable on Thursday that the removal was to help the apex bank upgrade the app’s functionalities.

He said the application is now back online.
