 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.

 The Deputy Governor of Kaduna state Hadiza Balarabe has participated at a virtual meeting of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (#UNODC)

This approach filled  prisons but failed to heal our communities. That is why  Kaduna State is  choosing another path. recognizing  that the cycle of addiction and incarceration is not a moral failure. It is a public health challenge that demands a humane, integrated answer. That answer is what we call “The Kaduna Model”.

A foundation rests firmly on human rights replacing restrictive colonial-era laws with the Kaduna State Mental Health Bill, which affirms mental health as a basic human right and shields our citizens from discrimination. The state transform  the former Bureau for Substance Abuse into the Kaduna State Substance Abuse Prevention and Mental Health Services Agency, KADSAMHSA, an institution with a unified mandate to oversee mental, neurological and substance use services. This transformation gave the people of Kaduna access to a system built on dignity, equity and care.

A defining element of The Kaduna Model is our Alternatives to Incarceration (ATI) programme. Through technical partnership with the UNODC, Kaduna State became the first jurisdiction in Nigeria and the only one in Sub-Saharan Africa to implement this model at such a comprehensive scale.
