The death of Queen Elizabeth 11, which signalled an end to a reign that lasted seven decades, dominated the cover pages of Nigerian newspapers.
The Punch says world leaders have paid tributes to Queen Elizabeth II of England who died at age 96. The newspaper reports that the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has threatened to shut down oil production in the country if the federal government fails to curb lingering oil theft.
The Nation reports that Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, said the appointment of Adolphus Wabara, former senate president, as chairman of the board of trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will not resolve the crisis in the party.
Daily Independent says Ayu survived the plot to remove him from office during yesterday’s PDP national executive council (NEC) meeting. The newspaper reports that the breakdown of the server of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has left many telecommunications subscribers and passport applicants stranded.
Daily Trust says schools in the federal capital territory (FCT) are set for resumption following the intensive bombardment of criminal hideouts by the military. The newspaper reports the Department of State Services (DSS) recovered military uniforms and cash from the residence of Tukur Mamu, the Kaduna train hostage negotiator.
The Guardian says Nigeria’s oil production has slumped to an average of 972,394 barrels per day — an all-time low. The newspaper reports that a federal high court in Lagos has extended the order stopping President Muhammadu Buhari and the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) from revoking the licenses of 53 broadcast stations.
