Reports on the newly commissioned Dangote refinery dominated the cover pages of Nigerian newspapers.

The Punch reports that with the commencement of operations at the Dangote refinery, the federal government may save about N35 trillion in fiscal expenditure within the next five years. The newspaper says the presidential election tribunal has rejected the application for the live broadcast of its proceedings.
The Nation reports that the first batch of products from the Dangote refinery will roll out before the end of July. The newspaper says President Muhammadu Buhari has signed the national social investment programme agency bill into law.
Daily Trust reports that the supreme court has slated May 26 to give judgement in a suit seeking the disqualification of Bola Tinubu, president-elect, and Kashim Shettima, vice president-elect. The newspaper says experts have asked Tinubu to insist on synergy among security agencies in the country in order to tackle the rising insecurity.
The Guardian says the billions of naira realised in profits by mobile network operations in Nigeria do not reflect in the quality of service delivery to subscribers. The newspaper reports that Buhari is expected to commission the Second Niger Bridge today.
Vanguard reports Aliko Dangote, Nigerian businessman, will employ over 100,000 youths and generate over $21 billion in revenue. The newspaper also reports that the federal government said more investment is needed to support the over four million people experiencing hunger and malnutrition in the north-east.
