Vanguard: The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria, CBCN, and the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, yesterday, dissected the state of the nation and returned a grim verdict: hardship is paralysing socioeconomic lives in communities and hunger causing a serious humanitarian crisis. Besides, the Catholic Bishops lamented that Nigeria was in her worst times in terms of insecurity, economy, and corruption, and called for sincere, accountable, and collective effort to halt the current slide and steer her towards a more secure and prosperous future.

The Nation: The Federal Government has reassured Nigerians that it is on the right path to economic prosperity. It acknowledged the hardship but reassured citizens that it would be over soon.

Daily Trust: Nigerians in some parts of the country have resorted to using charcoal as the cost of Liquefied Petroleum Gas, otherwise known as cooking gas, has continued to skyrocket, Daily Trust can report. This is just as the cost of charcoal has also risen owing to high demand, with some people switching to firewood.
