Leading telecoms operator MTN Nigeria has revealed plans to launch a data usage platform towards the end of June 2026. The move is an attempt to allow customers to track their data usage for a particular period.

According to the information revealed during the operator’s ‘Data on Trial’ event on Saturday, the development seeks to respond to ongoing complaints about data depletion and how data is used for a particular period. The basis of the event was also to provide more clarity on these allegations.

When live, the ‘Data Usage Platform’ will allow customers to see how much data they used for a particular period and a hierarchical list of apps that consumed data during the specific period. In addition, the portal also takes account of data used via hotspot sharing and wifi connections during the filtered period. 

Providing more context, Ugonwa Nwoye, MTN Nigeria’s Chief Customer Relations & Experience Officer, explained that the portal will answer subscribers’ questions, such as where they spent their data, the streaming quality they use, the streaming rate, and the total data used during that period. 

“This data portal will be live by the end of this month (June) on our network. We will keep on promoting it, taking feedback from you about how we can make it easier for you to use.”

“We show you that the more you use, of course, the more your monthly estimate is going to be. We also wanted to invite anybody brave enough to give us your phone number so that we can build this portal,” she said.

At the event, the platform was put to test with different phone numbers. A particular revelation was the use of Bar. Timi Agbaje’s phone number (Lead counsel for the prosecutor’s team) shows that Firebase, an unseen background software built into most social media apps, consumed most of his data. 

Nwoye stressed that MTN is taking time to perfect the platform and run several tests, and by the end of June, the app will be made available to subscribers.

With the post-COVID era comes the massive shift in technology, pushing most services online. It came with remote work, massive internet penetration and smartphone adoption. Now in 2026, Nigeria has grown in social media usage, with a surge in monthly data usage and internet subscribers.

At the central drive of this is data, in the form of mobile data or broadband data, making claims of data depletion a term every subscriber relates to on a daily basis. This forms the wide demand for transparency in data usage and how MTN bills this service.

Consistently, the discussion in our industry has been around how our data is, how users’ data is being consumed. Specific concerns about how quickly it drains and what consumes data,” said Karl Toriola, MTN Nigeria CEO, during his opening remarks at the event. 

However, in its motive to shed more light on data to build customers’ trust, MTN also admonished users to make use of its data calculator available on its website.

MTN data calculator helps subscribers estimate their daily or monthly internet consumption based on their specific online activities, such as streaming video, browsing social media, and gaming. It gives users an overview of what their data usage will look like based on their selected usage pattern. 

Aside from the data calculator, MTN subscribers can receive a daily account of their data usage by dialling *312*500# to opt in.

Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s Bold Plan to Stay Quantum-Secure and Simple!

Buterin unveils Ethereum’s strategy to tackle quantum security challenges ahead. Ethereum focuses on simplifying architecture while boosting security for users. Ethereum’s market stability grows as Buterin’s roadmap gains investor confidence. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has unveiled his long-term vision for the blockchain, focusing on making Ethereum quantum-secure while maintaining its simplicity for users. Buterin presented his roadmap at the Japanese Developer Conference, and splits the future of Ethereum into three phases: short-term, mid-term, and long-term. Buterin’s most ambitious goal for Ethereum is to safeguard the blockchain against the threats posed by quantum computing.  The danger of such future developments is that the future may call into question the cryptographic security of most blockchain systems, and Ethereum will be able to remain ahead thanks to more sophisticated mathematical techniques to ensure the safety and integrity of its protocols. Buterin is committed to ensuring that Ethereum evolves in a way that not only meets today’s security challenges but also prepares for the unknowns of tomorrow.

An important aspect of this vision is to remove unnecessary complexity and make Ethereum more accessible and maintainable without losing its strong security capabilities. Security and simplicity form the core of Buterin’s strategy, as they guarantee that the users of Ethereum experience both security and smooth processes. Focus on Speed and Efficiency in the Short-Term In the short term, Buterin aims to enhance Ethereum’s transaction efficiency, a crucial step toward improving scalability and reducing transaction costs. These advantages are attributed to the fact that, within the mid-term, Ethereum is planning to enhance the speed of transactions in layer-2 networks. According to Butterin, this is part of Ethereum’s expansion, particularly because there is still more need to use blockchain technology to date. The other important aspect of Ethereum’s development is the layer-2 solutions. Buterin supports an approach in which the layer-2 networks are dependent on layer-1 to perform some essential tasks like data security, proof, and censorship resistance. This will enable the layer-2 systems of Ethereum to be concerned with verifying and sequencing transactions, which will improve the overall speed and efficiency of the network. Ethereum’s Market Stability Reflects Confidence in Long-Term Strategy Ethereum’s market performance has remained solid, with the cryptocurrency holding steady above $4,000. Currently priced at $4,492.15, Ethereum has experienced a slight 0.93% increase over the last 24 hours, while its trading volume surged by 8.72%, reaching $34.14 billion. These figures point to growing investor confidence in Ethereum’s long-term vision. The crypto community remains optimistic about Ethereum’s future, with many predicting the price could rise to $5,500 by mid-October. Buterin’s clear, forward-thinking strategy continues to build trust in Ethereum as one of the most secure and scalable blockchain platforms in the market.
