The PUNCH: Barely three weeks after raising the price of Premium Motor Spirit, popularly known as petrol, Nigerians were outraged when the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited on Tuesday adjusted the pump prices of the commodity, as oil marketers foresee further price hikes in the short term.

Daily Trust: The ongoing political rivalry between Senators Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko and Ibrahim Lamido is taking on new dimensions, fracturing Sokoto’s traditional rulers along support lines.
