 Nigerians use 336 gigabytes per second – NCC The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has announced a significant surge in daily data usage, with a 39% increase from last year, averaging 336 gigabytes per second. This growth underscores the country’s shift towards a data-driven lifestyle. Executive Vice Chairman Maida Wada shared these insights at the 93rd Telecom Consumer Parliament in Abuja. However, despite this growth, many consumers express frustration over rapid data depletion.  Maida emphasized that Nigeria is not alone in addressing these concerns, citing countries like Botswana as example. He said the NCC has taken steps to address these issues, analyzing consumer complaints and identifying data depletion and billing as primary concerns. As Nigeria continues to navigate its digital transformation, the NCC’s boss said efforts to address consumer concerns and promote sustainable growth will be crucial in shaping the country’s digital future

 Swiss 'burqa Ban' To Take Effect From 2025


A contentious Swiss prohibition on facial coverings in public spaces widely known as the "burqa ban" will take effect on Jan. 1, the government said on Wednesday.


Narrowly passed in a 2021 referendum in neutral Switzerland, and condemned by Muslim associations, the measure was launched by the same group that organised a 2009 ban on new minarets.

The governing Federal Council said in a statement it had fixed the start of the ban, and that anyone who unlawfully flouts it faces a fine of up to 1,000 Swiss francs ($1,144).


The ban does not apply to planes or in diplomatic and consular premises, and faces may also be covered in places of worship and other sacred sites, the government said.

Facial coverings will remain permitted for reasons relating to health and safety, for native customs, or due to weather conditions, it said. They would also be allowed on artistic and entertainment grounds and for advertising, it added.


If such coverings are needed for personal protection in exercising freedom of expression and assembly, they should be permitted provided the responsible authority has already approved them and public order is not compromised, it said.
