ThisDay reports that the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) says counterfeiting and the influx of cheap imports are some of the factors stifling competitiveness in the textile and leather industry. The paper says Nigeria’s return to the international capital market defied political headwinds, as its $2.35 billion Eurobond issuance attracted orders worth $13 billion — representing an oversubscription of 453 percent, or $10.65 billion.
Blueprint newspaper reports that the senate has approved the sexual harassment of students (Prevention and Prohibition) Bill, 2025, which prescribes up to 14 years’ imprisonment for educators convicted of sexually harassing students in tertiary institutions.

The paper adds that Olu Verheijen, special adviser to President Bola Tinubu on energy, says the federal government is open to selling the refineries of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited.
PUNCH reports that the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is far from over as the faction loyal to Nyesom Wike insists that the national convention of the party slated for Ibadan, the Oyo state capital between November 15 and 16, will not hold. The newspaper says about two months before his tenure ends, at least five aspirants have reportedly entered the contest to replace Buba Marwa, chairman of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
Vanguard newspaper reports that Mohammed Idris, the minister of information and national orientation, says foreign lobbyists are fuelling the narrative of a “Christian genocide” in Nigeria.
