The insistence of Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), on the cash withdrawal limit and the criticism of the policy by federal lawmakers, dominated the cover pages of Nigerian newspapers.

The Punch says Emefiele has insisted on the implementation of the cash withdrawal limit but with some review of the policy. The newspaper reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is planning voting centres for two million internally displaced persons (IDPs) for the 2023 elections.
The Nation says Lucky Irabor, chief of defence staff (CDS), has assured Nigerians that the armed forces will not be forced to compromise the 2023 elections. The newspaper reports that the Department of State Services (DSS) has issued an ultimatum to stakeholders in the petroleum industry to make petrol available to Nigerians.
Daily Trust reports that questions have been raised on the enforcement of sentencing of very important persons to prisons over contempt of court. The newspaper says 11 eleven companies are in contention to win the concession bid for the Ajaokuta steel company.
The Guardian says the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has asked electricity consumers not to buy metres, wires and transformers. The newspaper reports that Lee Maeba, chairman of the Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign team in Rivers state, said he will not withdraw his support for the former vice-president despite an attack on his residence in the state.
Daily Sun says the Rivers state government alleged that there is a plot to blackmail Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, over the demands of the five aggrieved governors of the Peoples Democratic Party dubbed as G5. The newspaper reports that troops of the Nigerian Army have killed nine “bandits” in Giwa LGA of Kaduna state.
