In today’s Nigerian newspapers review programme, Today in the News, Vanguard leads with the Federal Government and governors coming under intense pressure to immediately secure the release of teachers, pupils and students abducted by terrorists in Oyo and Borno states.
Another headline features the House of Representatives calling on the federal government to urgently release adequate funds to the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) to strengthen the country’s preparedness against the growing threat of Ebola Virus Disease following a recent outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Vanguard also reports that the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has urged the federal government to give Nigeria’s security chiefs a 90-day deadline to eliminate terrorists across the country or resign from office.
Moving to the next paper, The Guardian’s lead headline states that the future of more than 52 million pupils and students in Nigeria’s primary and secondary schools hangs in the balance as worsening insecurity continues to disrupt access to education across the country.
The Punch leads with the abduction of dozens of pupils and teachers from schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, which has sparked widespread outrage across the country, prompting condemnation from the Senate, coordinated nationwide protests by teachers, and renewed calls by lawmakers for comprehensive reforms to Nigeria’s security architecture.
Lastly, The Nation’s top headline states that from Abuja to Ibadan and across many state capitals, a single demand rang out Tuesday: bring home the kidnapped pupils and teachers before more lives are lost.
