The Guardian: Despite the overwhelming gap in housing provision in the country, the Federal Government’s 2,870 houses in different states are beyond the reach of low-income earners.

Vanguard: THERE are indications that exchange rate crises that trailed the foreign exchange market reforms in June 2023 may linger further as supply gap led to further depreciation of Naira in the parallel market yesterday to N930/ $1, down from N925 mid last week.

The Nation: The proposed strike by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) will be counter-productive if it goes ahead, private employers of labour cautioned yesterday.
