Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Major Newspapers in Nigeria

1. Nigeria’s situation critical, not hopeless – Peter Obi
The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has said that the country’s challenges can be overcome with the right approach.
He said though the country’s situation was critical, it was not yet hopeless as things can still change for the better.
The former Anambra State governor stated this in a series of tweets on his Twitter handle on Sunday, adding that getting things done the right way will get the country out of its current mess.
He wrote, “I will say that while Nigeria’s situation is critical; it is not yet hopeless. That might be a cliché, but that is the reality. As I have always said, in the mission to rescue Nigeria, there is no tribe, religion, or class. Indeed, there can be no conscientious objector.”
The presidential candidate added, “We are challenged by high youth unemployment, which stands at 33.3%; 54% for the youth; and 20 million out-of-school-children. We must give this country back to the Nigerian youths. Half of our 200 million people are below the age of 30.
2. Oyo land grabbers risk 15 years jail term
The Acting Governor of Oyo State, Bayo Lawal, has said land grabbing will no longer be tolerated in the state as offenders now face up to 15 years jail term as punishment.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor, Taiwo Adisa, on Sunday, quotes the acting governor as saying this while inaugurating the task force unit of the real properties law of Oyo State in Ibadan.
Lawal added that those who aid and abet land grabbers would also not go without being punished declaring that the state was ready to stamp out the menace of land grabbing.
Lawal said the administration of Governor Seyi Makinde placed a high priority on the peace, order and security of lives and properties in the state. He added that it would leave no stone unturned in its determination to sustain peace and security.
Lawal explained that the law would protect the rights of property owners, while putting a stop to the nefarious activities of land merchants, who he said, willfully and violently seize people’s land.
“It is, therefore, worrisome that land owners are now being disturbed on daily basis by the unchecked activities of land grabbers.
“Hence, the urgent need to frontally tackle that menace by properly checking and discouraging it.
“It is against this background that the Real Properties Protection Law, 2016 was enacted. However, the law has not taken effect due to the fact that the task force unit, which is the operational unit of the law, has not been in existence.
