 Meta to end end-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages Meta is ending end-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages, a feature the company says will no longer be available after May 8, 2026. Unlike WhatsApp, Instagram never offered encryption to all users or as a default; only select users in certain regions could opt in on a per-chat basis. A Meta spokesperson explained that the decision comes due to low adoption. “Very few people were opting in to end-to-end encrypted messaging in DMs, so we’re removing this option from Instagram in the coming months,” the spokesperson said. “Anyone who wants to keep messaging with end-to-end encryption can easily do that on WhatsApp.” Meta’s messaging strategy has shifted multiple times over the years. WhatsApp chats have been encrypted since 2016, and the company began rolling out default encryption for Messenger in 2023.

 Schools Must Seek Ministry’s Clarification Before Allowing Revenue Agents -- Prof. Chuma-Udeh


By Obiageli Nwankwo


The Commissioner for Education, Anambra State, Prof. Chuma Udeh, has reaffirmed that schools are sacrosanct and must verify with the Ministry of Education before responding to summons or allowing revenue collection agents access to their premises.  


Speaking during a meeting with the Heads of the Private Schools Association in Onitsha South at the Ministry of Education’s Conference Hall, Udorji State Secretariat Complex, Awka, Prof. Chuma-Udeh emphasized the need for school proprietors to confirm any revenue collection activities with the Ministry. She warned that only agents with proper authorization letters from the Ministry should be entertained.  


She further clarified that any initiatives approved by the Ministry, whether by individuals or organizations, are Pro Bono meaning no school or student should be charged for such visits. This aligns with the Soludo-led administration’s commitment to reducing the financial burden on students and parents while fostering an inclusive education system.  


"The Ministry operates an open-door policy, and school proprietors must reach out whenever they have doubts or encounter irregularities. Any school owner who falls victim to fraudulent agents does so at their own risk," she stressed.  


Reacting to her address, Hon. Apostle Julius Udekwe, Chairman of the Association of Private Schools of Nigeria (APSON), praised the Soludo administration for its commitment to creating a conducive environment for private schools. Other association leaders also lauded Prof. Chuma-Udeh’s dedication and transparency, noting that private schools have never had it this good.  


The Ministry of Education urged all school proprietors to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to ensure a smooth and fraud-free educational environment.
