Reports on the lifting of petrol from Dangote Petrochemical Refinery permeate the frontpages of Nigerian dailies today.

The Punch reports that marketers have demanded direct access to petrol from the Dangote Petrochemical Refinery, criticising the firm grip of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Ltd on the market. The newspaper says Imoleayo Oyedeyi, Archbishop of Lagos, Methodist Church Nigeria, said the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) is right to check and control the production of “spiritual” products.
Vanguard reports that NNPC is projected to lift petrol at N960/N980 per litre and sell to marketers at N840/N850 to enable Nigerians to get it at between N857 and N865 at filling stations. The newspaper says Babagana Zulum, governor of Borno, said he is worried that jailed Boko Haram terrorists might have escaped from the Maiduguri correctional centre after the severe flooding that ravaged the state capital.
The Nation reports that trucks of NNPC have arrived at Dangote Petrochemical Refinery to commence the lifting of petrol. The newspaper says President Bola Tinubu will return to Abuja on Sunday after a two-week official trip to China and the United Kingdom (UK).
Nigerian Tribune reports that flood has rendered many people homeless in Yusufati LGA of Yobe state. The newspaper says some students of University of Benin (UNIBEN), Edo state, escaped death after a three-storey building collapsed in the Ekosodin area of Benin, Edo state capital.
