Nigeria has taken an important step towards a more coherent framework for virtual assets. The Order establishes a coordination framework under which CBN, SEC, Nigerian Revenue Service, NFIU, and ONSA will work through a Virtual Asset Council and a dedicated Virtual Asset Office.
Some milestones deserve a quiet nod.

The Central Bank of Nigeria has introduced new market-structure rules that will cap concentration in card issuing and merchant acquiring, require disclosure of ultimate beneficial ownership across regulated payment institutions, and mandate the localisation of payment data.
Across startups, corporations, and global markets, today’s workforce is more dynamic, more skilled, and more impactful than ever.
The nature of work is evolving but its importance remains constant.
We believe inclusive leadership builds stronger institutions and more resilient businesses.
This International Women's Day, we celebrate the brilliance, resilience, and impact of women everywhere.
Happy International Women’s Day.
#CircleLLP#InternationalWomensDay#Givetogain
Today, we celebrate the women shaping industries, influencing policy, building companies, and redefining leadership.
Across boardrooms, courtrooms, startups, and global enterprises, women continue to drive innovation and progress that transform economies and communities.
Behind many of today’s most exciting businesses are women who dared to build, lead, and innovate.
At Circle LLP, we are proud to work alongside visionary women such as entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders who continue to break barriers and redefine what is possible.
CircleLLP at @AfricaTechSMT 🇰🇪
CircleLLP will be attending Africa Tech Summit in Nairobi this week. We’ll be on the ground engaging founders, investors, operators, and regulators across technology, data, fintech, gaming, infrastructure, and cross-border expansion.
If you’re building, scaling, investing, or thinking seriously about Africa (or Africa thinking seriously about the world), let’s connect. Happy to exchange notes, compare scars, and explore practical pathways, from market entry & licensing to structuring, capital & partnerships.
A lot of companies see regulation as a constraint. Strategic operators see it as a moat. Complex compliance requirements aren’t just barriers to entry they’re barriers to competition. #circlellp
In business, regulatory approval isn’t the finish line, it’s the starting gun. Smart companies build for compliance before they need it. Reactive compliance costs 3x more than proactive structuring.
This is why we partner with founders and organisations to build solid legal foundations that support scale and sustainability.
Here’s to a compliant, well-governed & growth-driven year ahead.
From all of us at Circle LLP, Happy New Year. #CircleLLP#HappyNewYear#Legalservices
A new year brings fresh ambition, clearer goals, and higher expectations.
At Circle LLP, we believe that for startups and growing businesses, success in 2026 and beyond will depend on strong governance, regulatory compliance, and the right decisions made early.
To all our clients, thank you for trusting Circle LLP with your vision and growth.
May this season reward you with joy today and success tomorrow.
From all of us at Circle LLP, we wish you and yours a Merry Christmas.
#CircleLLP#MerryChristmas#Legalservices
Christmas Day is not simply a celebration, it is a moment to pause and reflect on what truly matters.
For us at Circle LLP, that means trusted partnerships over transactions, principles over shortcuts, and long-term value over quick wins.
