 Over 25 million phones stolen in one year – FG The Crime Experience and Security Perception Survey report of the National Bureau of Statistics, a Federal Government agency, shows that Nigeria recorded 25.35 million phone theft cases between May 2023 and April 2024. According to the report, this was the most common type of crime within the period under review. The report read, “The number of crimes experienced by individuals in Nigeria was analysed over a period of time.

UPDATE OF NCI RECOMMENDING THE SETTING UP OF A COUNCIL TO REGULATE THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN NIGERIA.{READ}.

2. What the NCI has suggested, that is the setting up of a Council to regulate the use of social media in Nigeria, is only a RECOMMENDATION, and nothing else.
3. The Federal Government has NOT accepted the recommendation contained in the NCI Communique, hence there is no cause for alarm or reason to panic. It is WRONG, as some have already done, to conclude that a mere recommendation of a Council is now the policy of the FG.
4. People should always seek to understand issues before commenting on them. Having a phone/laptop and cheap data is no licence for irresponsible posturing and name calling.
