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...

PDP Leaders Call for United Opposition to Rescue Nigeria from APC

-

Prominent leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Senate President David Mark, have called for a united political front to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections. Speaking under the group “Concerned Leaders of the PDP,” the leaders issued a strong statement in Abuja on Monday, urging Nigerians to support a nationwide coalition to save the country from what they described as “misrule.”

According to them, the APC-led government has failed Nigerians, citing rising insecurity, economic hardship, and declining public trust. Atiku emphasized that Nigeria is at a tipping point and that it would take more than just one political party to redirect the nation. “This is not just about the PDP; this is about the soul of our country,” he said.

The PDP leaders are proposing a national alliance of political parties, labour unions, civil society organizations, and other democratic forces. They believe this coalition will offer Nigerians a credible alternative and restore hope in leadership ahead of 2027. David Mark echoed the sentiment, urging all opposition leaders to put egos aside and think of the country first.

The coalition idea mirrors the 2015 alliance that led to PDP’s historic loss after 16 years in power. Now, roles seem reversed, with the PDP aiming to recreate a similar strategy against the APC.

While the ruling party has yet to officially react, analysts say the call for a coalition could shake up Nigeria’s political landscape. With worsening living conditions and growing discontent among citizens, 2027 might be a turning point.

As political realignment begins to take shape, many Nigerians are watching to see whether this opposition unity will bring about real change—or fall apart like many before it.

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.
