Nigerian newspapers review: [Highways of horror] Motorists wail, spend 4 days on Benin-Asaba road

In today’s Nigerian newspapers review programme, Today in the News, Vanguard leads with the Federal Government saying it will review all concessioned roads as motorists wailed after four days spent on the Benin-Asaba highway because of the road’s dilapidated state.

Another headline features the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) and Middle Belt Forum (MBF) demanding scrutiny of the history of candidates for the 2027 presidential election.

Vanguard also reports that the vice-presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Rotimi Amaechi, explained why the coalition failed to pick a single presidential candidate.

Moving to another newspaper, The Guardian leads with the Federal Government hastening police reform to douse self-help plots in communities.

The Punch’s lead headline states that no fewer than 19 oil licences in Nigeria’s upstream sector have stated expiry dates falling within 2026, according to the Nigerian Upstream Concession Situation Report of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission.

Lastly, The Nation leads with confusion rocking the ADC presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar’s fuel subsidy restoration campaign.
