The impeachment of Mudashiru Obasa as speaker of the Lagos state house of assembly dominates the frontpages. 

The Punch reports that Obasa’s impeachment was the result of intrigues, hubris and power play behind the scenes. The newspaper says information, communication, and technology (ICT) firms, including telecommunications companies in Nigeria, owed deposit money banks N1.69 trillion as of September 2024. The newspaper also states that the senate and federal government are planning a public hearing on the controversial tax reform bills. 
Daily Trust reports that Boko Haram terrorists killed at least 40 farmers in Dumba community in Baga, Kukawa LGA of Borno state on Sunday. The federal government has confirmed the outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in Kano state.
The Nigerian Tribune reports that Adebayo Adelabu, minister of power, said the federal government is yet to find a solution to the frequent collapse of the national grid. The newspaper says the national assembly joint committees on finance will probe ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) over a N4 trillion shortfall.
The Nation reports that Atiku Bagudu, minister of budget and economic planning, said the federal government intends to generate N36.35 trillion revenue in 2025.
