The PUNCH: The leader of the Yoruba Nation self-determination struggle, Professor Banji Akintoye, has said he did not authorise a congress of the apex body of the Yoruba self-determination struggle, Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, being rumoured to take place in Ibadan on Tuesday, November 1 (today).
The Guardian: For domiciliary account operators, transactions are now one-way – they can deposit but can hardly withdraw from their accounts, except through card usage. Even deposits are scanty as customers are increasingly wary of keeping faith in banks. According to a banker, the sharp fall in inflow is a major reason banks are not able to pay those in need. And the old trick of paying in small denominations (mostly $20) to shortchange depositors is fully activated. Lower notes are less valuable and attract lower exchange value
Vanguard: The Federal Government said yesterday that the security situation in the country was not that dire to warrant the travel advisory issued by the United States and United Kingdom governments as well as other foreign missions.
This Day: In the wake of the controversy surrounding a recent travel advisory issued by the United States government and some other countries asking their citizens to steer clear of Abuja, the Nigerian government has again allayed fears over the safety of people living in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The leaders, including chieftains of Afenifere, Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE) and other associations, said Adebanjo, who had in his private capacity endorsed Labour Party (LP) presidential Peter Obi, was on his own.
Daily Trust: The naira fell to N818/$1 at the parallel market on Monday in Abuja and N815 in Lagos as it continued to lose its value.
