The response of former President Olusegun Obasanjo to the comment of Edwin Clark, an Ijaw leader, regarding the ownership of oil in the Niger Delta region, appeared on the cover pages of Nigerian newspapers.

The Punch reports that electronic transmission of results in the 2023 elections is doubtful as 301 LGAs lack internet facilities. The newspaper says 15,049 Nigerian nurses moved to the UK in five years.
Daily Independent reports that the patronage of point-on-sale (PoS) services is reducing as customers have returned to automated teller machines (ATMs). The presidency said compulsory direct primary in the electoral bill is too costly for Nigerians, the newspaper says.
Daily Sun says Osita Chidoka, former minister of aviation, said former President Goodluck Jonathan handed over a $550 billion economy to President Muhammadu Buhari. The newspaper reports that Obasanjo criticised Clark, saying oil belongs to Nigeria, not Niger Delta.
The Nigerian Tribune reports that the federal capital territory administration (FCTA) is set to revoke titles of 435 abandoned properties and 600 undeveloped plots of land. The federal government and family of Itunu Babalola, the Nigerian lady who died in prison in Côte D’Ivoire, have rejected the autopsy report which said she died of “sepsis complicated by acute respiratory distress”, the newspaper says.
The Guardian reports that the United Nations has warned that the COVID-19 pandemic will not be the last pandemic in the world. The newspaper says concerns are mounting over the closure of streets in Lagos.
