Reports on the public hearing on tax reform bills and the growth in the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) suffuse the frontpages of Nigerian newspapers. 

The Punch reports that former President Goodluck Jonathan has said the nation was not getting accurate vote counts during elections due to the involvement of those he described as ‘ghost voters’. The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) have kicked against certain provisions of the tax reform bills during the public hearing organised by the senate committee on finance, the newspaper says.
Daily Trust reports that prices of food commodities like maize, rice, millet, sorghum, beans, flour and soybeans, among others have dropped, especially in major producing states. The newspaper says thirteen people on Tuesday died in separate road crashes in Yobe and Sokoto states.
Vanguard reports that lack of surveillance technological equipment in the country is aiding criminality and terrorism. The newspaper says Mojisola Meranda, speaker of the Lagos house of assembly, has agreed to resign but on the condition that it must be done during plenary.
THISDAY reports that the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said Nigeria’s annual gross domestic product (GDP) rate grew by 3.84 percent in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2024. The newspaper says President Bola Tinubu has reassured global oil and gas investors of the federal government’s resolve to provide an enabling environment for them to invest in the sector.
