Relief For Subscribers As NCC Moves Against Poor Telecom Services.
The National Consumers Advocacy Network has praised the Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Aminu Maida, for introducing a policy that compels telecom operators to compensate subscribers for poor network services.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a statement issued on Tuesday and signed by its President, Dr Tobi Olanrewaju, the group described the directive as a bold, consumer-driven reform. It noted that the policy has already led major telecom operators to begin issuing airtime credits to affected subscribers, marking a shift from what it called regulatory tolerance to stronger accountability. “For years, Nigerian telecom subscribers have endured suboptimal service quality with little or no consequence for operators,” the statement said. “What we are witnessing under Dr Aminu Maida is a clear assertion that regulatory oversight must translate into tangible benefits for consumers. This is not merely about compensation; it is about restoring trust in the system.” Olanrewaju explained that the policy’s automatic compensation mechanism, which does not require customers to file complaints, reflects a deeper understanding of consumer challenges. “This intervention acknowledges a fundamental principle that the burden of service failure should not rest on the consumer,” he said. He further stated that tying compensation directly to verified local service disruptions sets a new benchmark for regulatory practice in the telecom sector. The group also commended the NCC’s decision to monitor network performance at the Local Government Area level, saying it would provide a more accurate reflection of user experiences compared to broad national assessments. Olanrewaju added that the Commission’s simultaneous push for operators to invest in infrastructure upgrades is a balanced approach that addresses both immediate relief for consumers and long-term service improvements. “While consumers receive immediate value for past deficiencies, the root causes of poor service are being systematically addressed,” he said. The advocacy group urged telecom companies to see the policy as an opportunity to rebuild public trust and improve service delivery standards. It also encouraged other regulatory bodies to adopt similar consumer-focused strategies in addressing sector-wide challenges. “Dr Maida has demonstrated that regulation, when properly executed, can serve as a powerful tool for social and economic justice,” Olanrewaju added. The group reaffirmed its support for ongoing NCC reforms and called for continued cooperation among regulators, service providers, and consumers. It stressed that the ultimate measure of success would be sustained improvement in network quality across the country.

4. “They Are Among Us”: Tinubu’s Aide Drops Bombshell On Internal Complicity in Massive Scam.
Temitope Ajayi, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Information and Public Affairs, has acknowledged that it is difficult to rule out the involvement of internal figures in the ongoing controversy surrounding a counterfeit government agency.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The scandal centers on serious corruption allegations involving the President’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, and an individual named Prince Mathew Adeniyi Adeyemi, who claims to lead the non-existent Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC).
As previously highlighted by DAILY POST, this situation has sparked intense scrutiny regarding the integrity and accountability of the Tinubu administration. Prince Adeyemi has alleged that the fictitious PFIPC managed to secure budgetary allocations in the 2026 fiscal year and successfully opened several official accounts—including a Domiciliary Account, a Pounds Sterling account, and a Treasury Single Account (TSA)—with the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Furthermore, Adeyemi has accused the Chief of Staff of facilitating his fraudulent appointment for a total of N600 million, claiming that N400 million was paid via proxies, leaving an outstanding balance of N200 million.
Addressing the possibility of internal collaboration, Ajayi pointed to the sheer brazenness of the operation as a red flag:
“Well, it’s not impossible, because even the audacity to go and operate inside the government federal secretariat is enough to suggest anything could have gone at some point”.
Ajayi expressed confusion over how the suspect obtained a falsified appointment letter attributed to the Chief of Staff, emphasizing that presidential appointments remain the exclusive prerogative of the President.

‘IT COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE’: APC Chieftain Sparks Outrage By Comparing PFIPC Scandal To 9/11 Terror Attacks!.
Dr. Taofiq Raimi, an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, has come to the defense of the Presidency concerning the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) controversy. During an appearance on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Friday, Raimi argued that it is unfair to blame the Presidency for the incident, noting that even advanced nations are susceptible to sophisticated crimes. He drew a comparison to the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States to illustrate his point that complex criminal activities can bypass security measures anywhere in the world. The controversy involves an individual named Adeyemi Adeniyi Matthew, who allegedly impersonated the leader of the PFIPC—a council the Presidency maintains does not exist.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
APC chieftain Dr. Taofiq Raimi has dismissed claims that the PFIPC scandal represents a failure of the Presidency. Raimi emphasized that sophisticated crimes can occur in any country, citing the 9/11 attacks in the U.S. as an example of how security can be breached despite high-level oversight. This defense follows reports of Adeyemi Adeniyi Matthew, an impostor who allegedly posed as the Director-General of the non-existent council, whom the Presidency is currently prosecuting.
Option 3: Focus on the Comparison In a recent televised interview, APC chieftain Dr. Taofiq Raimi suggested that the PFIPC impersonation scandal should not be viewed as a lapse by the Nigerian Presidency. Comparing the situation to the 9/11 attacks in America, Raimi argued that such sophisticated criminal acts are difficult to prevent, regardless of a nation’s advancement. The Presidency continues to clarify that the council mentioned by the suspect, Adeyemi Adeniyi Matthew, is non-existent and that the matter is under criminal investigation.
