The following are news highlights of major Nigerian media outlets on Sunday.

-- President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed Nigeria's determination to significantly reduce the very high bill for importation of food products to the country.

-- There are strong indications that the National Assembly and President Muhammadu Buhari are on a collision course over details of the 2016 budget.

Both chambers of the National Assembly were uncomfortable with Buhari's stand that he would ensure that what would be given to him for signature would be in line with the budget submitted. (The Punch) Endit
