Another headline features the Federal Government moving to eliminate conflicting economic projections by Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), setting up a high-powered inter-agency committee to harmonise the macroeconomic assumptions that underpin national budgeting and economic planning.
Vanguard also reports that the Federal Government has moved to upgrade the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) to the National Anti-Corruption Court to fast-track the trial of corruption cases.
Moving to another newspaper, The Guardian reports that fuel subsidy, which President Bola Tinubu sought to remove from the centre of Nigeria’s economic policy with his May 29, 2023 announcement ending the former petrol subsidy regime, is back at the centre of the 2027 presidential contest as candidates split over how to deliver cheaper fuel without worsening the country’s fiscal burden.
The Punch leads with the Federal Government barring ministers, heads of ministries, departments and agencies and other government appointees from embarking on official foreign trips without prior approval from the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
Lastly, The Nation leads with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) deepening the use of technology to monitor the movement of materials during the January 16 and February 6, 2027 general elections.
