  NIN: Court Bars FG from Blocking SIM Cards A Federal High Court in Lagos State has barred the Federal Government from blocking SIM cards not linked to National Identity Numbers next month. The Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy had, through the Nigerian Communications Commission, asked operators to block all SIM cards not linked to NIN by April 9, 2021.

Paul Olawoore, has condemned the government’s use of force to take control of mission schools in Kwara State. He said the diocese was not in agreement with the government over the use of hijab in mission schools. The prelate, however, discouraged any form of violence. He said, “I don’t want any confrontation that will inflict pain or any kind of injury on anybody. Neither do I wish that anyone should lose his or her life on this issue.” Bishop Olawoore, who is also the Chairman of the Kwara State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria, said it was time to join hands to show the world that peaceful coexistence and tolerance was the way to go, rather than apportioning blame or accusing one another derogatorily. The CAN’s Director of Ecumenism and Interfaith Dialogue, Rev. Fr. Ralph Ajewole, denied reports that Christians in the state had agreed to the use of hij

  Half of people now have Covid-19 antibodies, says ONS survey ABOUT one in two people in most parts of the UK now have Covid-19 antibodies, new figures suggest.
