Nationwide SIM Services Disruption Hits Nigerians Amid NIMC Platform Migration

-
Image
Nigerians across the country are currently experiencing a major disruption in SIM-related services, following the migration of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to a new digital identity verification platform. This development has caused unexpected technical issues, forcing mobile network operators to suspend services such as SIM swaps, replacements, activations, and number porting. According to a statement from the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), the transition has created temporary difficulties in verifying users’ National Identification Numbers (NIN) through the new system. As a result, all telecom providers, including MTN, Airtel, Glo, and 9mobile, have been affected. The suspension is particularly frustrating for subscribers who urgently need to retrieve lost lines, change devices, or port their numbers. The development also impacts people who rely on SIM cards for access to banking, business communications, and other di...

Update: Kidnappers told me they killed my son after paying ransom twice - Bauchi lawmaker (video)

Mustapha Bala Ali, son of Bala Ali Lukshi, a member representing Dass Local Government in the Bauchi State has been murdered after collecting ransom twice.

 

According to a source the kidnappers abducted Mustapha in Dass, and demanded millions of naira for his release.


The lawmaker told Labari Daga Bauchi on Tuesday, that after paying ransom, the kidnappers told him where he will find his son.

 

"After reaching there, we could not find anyone. We were making phone calls with those people. They collected the money they asked me to bring, but later told me that I submitted the money late and I needed to add more," the lawmaker said although he did not reveal the amount paid.

 

"I was one day late ahead of their deadline because the money was not complete then. They threatened to kill the boy. At that point, I added another money for them as they requested,"  he said.

 

“The last time we spoke was eight days ago, and from then they were not specific in all their conversations. I even pleaded with them that his mother wanted to hear his voice but they failed to connect us with him.”


The lawmaker added that the terrorists at a point told him they have killed his son and subsequently, they refused to pick up his calls.

 

"That is why I asked our Liman to proceed with a funeral service for him even if he will return afterwards. Although I am not certain about his death, I’m hopeless for now." he said.

In a powerful call to action, the United Nations has urged Nigeria’s private sector to step up and fill the growing funding gap threatening the nation’s development goals. The plea was made by Mohamed Malick Fall, the UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Nigeria, during a high-level dialogue on financing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) held in Lagos. With international aid shrinking and global economic pressures mounting, Fall emphasized the need for a strategic shift in how Nigeria finances its development. He stated that the country must no longer rely solely on government resources or international donor support. Instead, private investors, corporate bodies, and philanthropists must take a more proactive role in driving sustainable growth. The UN official described Nigeria as a country full of potential, rich in human and natural resources. However, he stressed that to unlock this potential, there must be a collaborative partnership between government, the private...

The Nassarawa orphanage home in Kano is a refuge for abandoned children, many of whom have been found on the streets, lost due to the tragic loss of their parents or left behind after accidents. For years, the Kano State Government has played a crucial role in supporting the orphanage by providing food, clothing, and education until these children reach adulthood. As they grow up, the boys often find work in government positions or venture into entrepreneurship, while the girls are generally married off to suitors interested in them. Since the orphanage’s inception, hundreds of girls have entered into marriage, but some women have shared their struggles with DAILY POST, expressing feelings of abandonment after their husbands divorced them.
