Report on the suggestion of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for the improvement of the Nigerian economy dominated the cover pages of Nigerian newspapers.

The newspaper said the federal government has announced that Nigeria’s oil production has increased to about 1.7 million barrels per day.
The Nation reports that President Bola Tinubu has described the appeal filed by Peter Obi of the Labour Party against the judgment of the tribunal as a jamboree intended for media entertainment.

THISDAY reports that Tinubu has appointed new chief executive officers for 14 agencies and parastatals under the federal ministry of industry, trade and investment. The newspaper reports that the IMF has commended the removal of foreign exchange restrictions by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The Guardian reports that stakeholders from the south-east zone have asked Tinubu to accept the dialogue offer of the Indigenous People of Biafra for peace to reign in the zone.
