According to Premium Times, over 7.5 million MTN subscribers are yet to get their NINs verified by the NIMC.

In Central Africa, the Sudanese government shut down the Internet in the country on Thursday, June 30, 2022, due to protests against the military government. This is at least the fifth time this is happening since 2019, and as Emmanuel says, it is "brute hammer tactics."
