According to a regulatory modernization initiative by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC),  the Association of Licensed Telecoms Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) has announced the use of harmonised short codes (New USSD code) across all networks.
The Association stated in a press release that was made available to Nigerians that the harmonisation of shortcodes aims to establish a simplified process for common shortcodes across all networks providers, making it easier for Nigerians to be able to use just one code across all networks. 
This uniform code works on all network provide like MTN, Airtel, 9mobile and Glo.
Though the old ussd codes are still working. We all grew up knowing these codes and now we have to learn a new set of ussd codes. I really have no clue why they are constantly changing. I know how difficult this will be.
That’s doesn’t change the fact that you should not be familiar with the new ussd code as old codes will seize to function as at May 17
