Top news items in major Nigerian media outlets

Xinhua, April 11, 2016 Adjust font size:

The following are highlights of leading Nigerian media outlets on Monday.

- President Muhammadu Buhari has said that his government remains committed to contracts signed by his predecessor Goodluck Jonathan with Chinese firms on railway, roads and hydroelectric dam projects.

Buhari said this in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency ahead of his five-day state visit to China starting on Monday. (Daily Trust)

- The Presidency has confronted the leadership of the National Assembly with details of distortions orchestrated by the lawmakers in the 2016 budget and asked them to urgently address them in the interest of the nation. (Vanguard)

- Stakeholders in the financial market have expressed worry about the poor handling of sensitive issues in the economy by government, particularly with regard to the lingering fuel scarcity and foreign exchange needed to import the commodity.

The implications, besides the foreign exchange-related pressure on the economy so far, are the aggregate value of man-hours lost at the fuel stations and the attendant high cost of basic needs. (The Guardian) Endit
