The National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, has announced the successful migration of telecommunications companies in the country to its new National Identification Number, NIN, verification platform, NINAuth.

The commission’s spokesperson, Kayode Adegoke, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.

According to NIMC, with the successful migration of telecom operators to NINAuth, subscribers can now access uninterrupted verification services.

It added that any issues experienced by NIN holders concerning new Subscriber Identity/Identification Module registration, SIM swap, SIM migration, “Welcome Back” SIM and related services should be directed to the telecom operators for immediate resolution.

“By migrating to this new platform, Telecommunications firms can now provide uninterrupted verification services to their subscribers.

“This achievement is a result of NIMC’s painstaking efforts to put the power to control NIN data in the hands of the holders.

“The NINAuth platform enhances data protection, gives control of personal data to the owners, offers seamless verification, and provides convenient sign-on access to services,” NIMC stated.

We suffered subjugation for 120 years – Monarch of Adamawa’s newly created Hoba chiefdom

We suffered subjugation for 120 years – Monarch of Adamawa’s newly created Hoba chiefdom

The paramount ruler of the Hoba people in Adamawa State, the Tol Hoba, Alheri Bulus, has recounted how the creation of his new chiefdom marked a liberation of his people from 120 years of domination by those who, he said, should not exercise traditional authority over them.

Speaking as leader of a delegation of Hoba people on an appreciation visit to Governor Ahmadu Fintiri in Yola on Wednesday, the Tol Hoba, whose chiefdom covers the Hoba people who mostly inhabit Hong Local Government Area in Central Adamawa Zone, stressed that it had been more than a century of struggling for self-determination.

“We suffered subjugation in the hands of colonial rulers and calculated post-colonial domination,” the paramount ruler said.

The Hoba Chiefdom was created last December alongside four other chiefdoms and two emirates across Adamawa State by the Fintiri administration.

Before attaining autonomy as the Hoba Chiefdom, the people of Hong, the Hoba nation, existed as a loose entity under the Adamawa Emirate, which has its headquarters in far-off Yola, the state capital.

Emphasising the sense of marginalisation his people experienced before the creation of the chiefdom, the Tol Hoba said:

“We fought hard for restoration, we were battle-weary but we held on; we were resolved to come to this day when we can celebrate.”

He thanked Governor Fintiri for making the dream of the Hoba people a reality.

Responding, Governor Fintiri said he needed no elaborate thanks, as he merely did what he was convinced was right.

The governor said his administration remained committed to ensuring development and creating an environment where all people could take pride in their shared identity.

Ogun nurses join 7-day warning strike

Nurses in Ogun State on Wednesday joined the nationwide seven-day warning strike called by the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, NANNM.

DAILY POST reports that NANNM declared the strike, which involves a total withdrawal of services across federal and public health institutions nationwide, and is scheduled to last seven days.

The union said the action followed the expiration of a 15-day ultimatum issued on July 14 to the Federal Government and the Federal Ministry of Health.

“Nurses nationwide have been asked to comply fully and stand in solidarity,” NANNM-FHI said in a statement on Monday.

The union added that the strike would continue until August 5 and may escalate if their demands were not addressed.

The Ogun State Council of NANNM, in a statement signed by its chairman, Adejoke Bello, and Secretary, Salami Dare, on Tuesday, urged all nurses in the state to comply with the directive, warning that any found defaulting would not be spared.

The statement read: “Following the resolution of the emergency National Executive Council meeting of NANNM and subsequent directive received from NANNM National Headquarter.

“I write to notify you that all nurses and midwives across all health care institutions (federal, state and local government) are directed to embark on a seven-day warning strike from 12:00 midnight, Wednesday 30th July, 2025 to 5th August, 2025.

“This action is not optional and must be strictly complied by every member. In compliance with the directive, a monitoring and enforcement team has been set up to ensure full compliance. Please note that defaulters would be seen as saboteurs and would not be spared.”

DAILY POST observed that at the Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta, there was full compliance, with only doctors attending to patients.

When contacted, the Secretary of FMC NANNM, Comrade Oluwaseun Salami, said: “Yes there is a 100 percent compliance here, we are not returning until our demands are met.”

The nurses are demanding several improvements to their working conditions and welfare, including increased allowances, better salaries, improved career progression, and the creation of a dedicated Nursing Department within the Federal Ministry of Health.

Delta: Nurses, midwives strike paralyses activities at FMC Asaba

Delta: Nurses, midwives strike paralyses activities at FMC Asaba

The strike by nurses at the Federal Medical Centre, FMC, Asaba, has taken a new turn as they directed their members to fully join the industrial action.

The midwives’ union has also withdrawn its services entirely, declining to provide even skeletal services.

The striking workers have vowed to sustain the action until their demands are met.

Aggrieved patients at the hospital protested against the incessant industrial actions by medical workers, particularly nurses and midwives.

They called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to take decisive action in tackling the persistent industrial disputes within the health sector.

The protesters gathered under billboards and trees within the hospital premises, describing the strike as an “unbearable strike action embarked upon by the nurses in the hospitals.”

They alleged that many lives had been lost since the hospital was established in Asaba due to repeated strikes.

One of the patients, Mr Paul Okonkwo, said there was barely a fortnight when different trade unions at the FMC Asaba did not embark on one industrial action or another.

Dr Victor Osiatuma, the Chief Medical Director of the centre, assured that patients would not suffer and that plans were underway to mitigate the strike’s impact.

He appealed to the nurses and midwives to reconsider their position.
