Osun Polls, Cost of Living and Security Lead Monday’s Top Nigerian Headlines

Osun Polls, Cost of Living and Security Lead Monday’s Top Nigerian Headlines

Here is the Monday morning news roundup from TheMatrix Newspapers. Osun’s governorship race has intensified as opposition figures reportedly endorse APC candidate Bola Oyebamiji ahead of the August 15 election. The Nigeria Revenue Service chairman also defended the Federal Government’s economic reforms, while a security group warned that ports and land borders could be exploited by terrorists and criminal networks. Other major stories include a special immigration team deployed to the UK over passport backlogs, JAMB’s resolution of more than 5,000 candidate complaints, and an airstrike on an ISWAP hideout in Sambisa. The Federal Government has also announced a textbook ranking system for public schools. In entertainment and sports, BBNaija recorded its first double eviction, while the Super Falcons’ WAFCON exit has put Nigeria’s 2027 Women’s World Cup hopes at risk.

Readers should follow the campaign promises closely and compare what candidates say about prices, safety and local priorities before voting.
