Reports on Mudashiru Obasa’s reinstatement as speaker of the Lagos house of assembly; and the fresh confrontation between the Martin Amaewhule-led faction of the Rivers assembly and Siminalayi Fubara, governor of the state; perfuse the frontpages today. 

The Punch reports that the Bisi Akande and Olusegun Osoba-led panel has resolved the crisis in the Lagos assembly with Obasa reinstated as speaker of the house. Dele Alake, minister of solid minerals, said the federal government is avoiding confrontation with governors over mining sites despite the constitutional power vested in the centre.
The Nation reports that the Amaewhule-led faction of the Rivers assembly has asked Fubara to present the 2025 budget within 48 hours. The newspaper says the federal executive council (FEC) has approved an insurance package worth over N1 billion for critical assets and personnel across all federal airports in Nigeria.
Nigerian Tribune reports that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has reduced the retail price of petrol at its filling stations to N880 per litre in Abuja and N860/litre in Lagos. The newspaper says the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has condemned the decision of Bauchi, Katsina, Kano, and Kebbi states to shut down all schools during the Ramadan fast.
Vanguard reports that Fubara said he is not scared of the outcome of the political crisis in the state. The newspaper says the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria has asked the federal government to halt school closures in four northern states. The schools were closed due to the Ramadan fast.
