The attack on Chukwuma Soludo, former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), by gunmen dominated the headlines of Nigerian newspapers. The report of the US Department of State that there is no accurate information on the fatalities from the shooting at Lekki tollgate, Lagos state, during #EndSARS protests also made the headlines.

The Punch says the Peoples Democratic Party and some civil society organisations reprimanded the Buhari administration over allegations of massive graft by the US government. The newspaper reports that 30 cows that died mysteriously in Ondo state will get a mass burial and that state health officials are currently monitoring markets in the state over the incident.
The Guardian says shortage of COVID-19 vaccine has sparked fears of fakery and hoarding among those who desperately want the vaccine for travel purposes. The UK envoy to Nigeria lamented Nigeria’s worsening insecurity, the newspaper reports.
The Nigerian Tribune says Chukwuma Soludo, former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), was attacked by gunmen and that three of his police security were killed in the attack. The newspaper reports that Nigeria got a grant of $15 million for safe school reopening.
Daily Independent says analysts have argued that the naira may not regain the value it has lost. The newspaper also reports that subscribers face endless hurdles to retrieve their SIM cards.
As the Easter holidays approach, passengers will have to pay more to board flights owing to a shortage of aircraft, Business Day reports. The newspaper also reports how Nigeria’s exports can win the trading game in Africa.
The Nation reports that the state caretaker chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are under pressure to extend the party’s membership registration and revalidation exercise — a development that may extend the tenure of the Mala Buni-led national caretaker committee. The US government said there is no evidence of massacre at the Lekki tollgate, the newspaper says.
