Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Nigerian Newspapers:

  1. A duplex reportedly owned by the Alake of Egba Land was demolished by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) on Plot 226 Cadastral Zone, A02 Wuse 1, Wuse Zone 6 District. The building was erected against official warnings.

  2. Chairman of the Senate Committee on Information, Kenneth Eze, reaffirmed the legitimacy of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s election. He urged the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ebonyi State and Nigerians at large to dismiss opposition-fueled rumors casting doubt on Tinubu’s victory.

  3. James Anodoakaa Iorpuu, the Acting Executive Secretary of Benue State Emergency Management Agency (BSEMA), initiated an awareness campaign urging people to evacuate flood-prone areas. This comes as water is released from Cameroon’s LAGDO-DAM, affecting regions along River Benue.

  6. President Bola Tinubu directed the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs to halt visa processing for government officials planning to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The move aims to reduce government expenses.
