It’s the last day of the month guys!

Excited, aren’t we? Before we step into the new month, here’s a compilation of today’s Big 5 Daily.

Let’s dive in!

The Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) has commenced the registration of the 10-year e-passport. The new 10-year international e-passport was first at the State House in Abuja Nigeria on the 15th of January 2019. The passport will be valid for 10 years and will come with an enhanced security-self-tracking application and express centers for urgent application. The new 64-page 10-year standard e-passport will cost N70,000.

Moving on, in a bid to curb fraudulent services, the Tanzanian government has made plans to limit the number of SIM cards an individual can own. They plan to achieve this by limiting the number of SIM’s to a single line per network. They plan to begin a fresh biometric registration of all SIM card holders from May 1st to September. All information obtained from registered SIM cards will be directly linked to a subscriber’s national identification card.

Orange Telco launched its first digital centre in Tunisia, as it aims to support startups with acceleration programs, early-stage investments, and training programs.

The digital centre will also include a EUR 50 million investment fund to support fintech and edtech startups in the Middle East and Africa.

Finally, Aerobotics a South African Agritech launched its latest new product ‘Aeroview InField’ an end-to-end solution for pest and disease management in a single app. With the app; farmers will be able to detect pest and crop diseases. They will also have access to creating a scouted route; take pictures, make notes on their mobile devices; collect multiple data to detect pests and diseases, and investigate with GPS coordinates.
