 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. However, Meta has not clarified whether the Instagram decision affects Messenger, which is still in the proc...

 NIMC Reports Over 120 Million NIN Enrolments, Justifies Price Review


The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced that National Identity Number (NIN) enrolments have surpassed 120 million, reaching 120,000,040 for citizens and legal residents. The milestone was revealed alongside the commission’s rationale for its recent service price adjustments during a press conference on Wednesday.


NIMC Director General, Engr. Abisoye Coker-Odusote, highlighted the commission’s efforts to enhance infrastructure capacity over the past 24 months to better serve Nigerians. She also claimed a 40 percent reduction in corruption within the agency, attributing it to improved operational measures.


Addressing the controversial price review effective May 1, 2025, Coker-Odusote explained that the adjustments aimed to curb extortion and standardize charges. “There were all sorts of prices over there. People were extorting citizens with outrageous prices,” she stated. While NIN enrolment remains free, fees for data modifications, such as date of birth corrections, have increased from N16,340 to N28,574. Similarly, the cost for NIN retrieval via Unstructured Supplementary Service Data rose from N20 to N50. Conversely, verification fees have been reduced to make the process more accessible.


Coker-Odusote emphasized that the price changes reflect a balance, with some fees lowered and others raised to ensure sustainability and fairness. “In terms of verification, the prices were reviewed downwards but upwards in terms of modifications,” she clarified.


NIMC’s price adjustments have sparked public debate, with the commission urging citizens to engage with official channels for accurate information and to report any extortion attempts.
