The Punch reports the president as saying that he has no regrets ending the petrol subsidy regime. The newspaper says the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and civil society organisations have called for further reduction in the pump price of petrol, adding that the recent drop in price to N935/litre was still not good enough.

The newspaper says Nigeria has nominated Olufemi Elias as the country’s candidate to lead the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague, for the term running from 2027 to 2036.
Nigerian Tribune reports that the newly created ministry of livestock development will this year establish ranches in seven states across the federation.
Daily Trust reports that Babagana Zulum, governor of Borno, has urged the federal government to reconstruct the collapsed Alau Dam that caused devastating floods in Maiduguri and Jere towns. The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) says Lassa fever killed 190 Nigerians in one year.
