The PUNCH: Oil marketers have yet to receive a response from the Federal Government as regards the outstanding payment of bridging claims incurred by dealers for the transportation of petroleum products across the country and might go ahead with their proposed strike after the Sallah break.
The Guardian: As Muslim faithful across the nation celebrated the Eid el-Kabir yesterday, clerics, heads of government and traditional institutions, and thought leaders reflected on the state of the nation and prayed for an urgent national rebirth. They said that only a national rebirth could save the nation from the multifarious challenges besetting her, and the masses from seeming hopelessness pervading the land.
The Nation: Almost all the 36 states of the federation appear overwhelmed by the mounting backlog of pensions and gratuities owed retired civil servants, investigation shows. The dwindling revenue from crude oil sales is not helping matters and is even beginning to threaten salary payment in some states.
This Day: President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday charged Nigerians to expose the criminal elements threatening the nation’s security. Speaking after the Eid-el-Kabir prayers at his country home in Daura, Katsina State, Buhari said increased disclosure of unusual activities would expose bandits and terrorists, nudging the security apparatus to eliminate threats across the country.
Daily Trust: Complex security challenges across Kaduna, Niger, Katsina, Sokoto, Benue and Plateau states could disenfranchise millions of voters as many local government areas in the states have become inaccessible due to insecurity. In some states, bandits have invaded communities and now call the shots, while in others, residents have been dislodged from their villages and forced to relocate to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps.
