OPay says it remains fully operational in Nigeria and has no plans to suspend or discontinue its services, after responding to viral claims circulating on social media. The company issues its clarification during a live town hall in Lagos on Wednesday, 2 September 2026.
Both outlets describe the event as a platform for OPay’s leadership to address misinformation and restate its role in Nigeria’s digital economy. Vanguard and the Daily Post Nigeria both report that the town hall includes participation from company executives and stakeholders, and that the message is consistent: OPay is committed to its customers and merchants and intends to continue its fintech activities in the country. The coverage emphasizes the company’s denial of an impending shutdown, rather than providing new details about any operational changes.
While the outlets largely align on the core facts—OPay’s denial and the date/location of the town hall—differences are mainly in how they present framing and surrounding participation lists rather than in the substance of the claim.
