Daily Independent says the federal executive council (FEC) has approved 16 power projects to address Nigeria’s epileptic power supply. President Muhammadu Buhari has said the country is in the final phase of the battle against terrorists, the newspaper reports.

The Nigerian Tribune reports that bomb explosions rocked Maiduguri killing three persons hours before the visit of Buhari. The newspaper says the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has compensated 27 victims of police brutality with N147 million.

The Guardian says darkness is looming this festive season as shortage of gas might force most power generation companies to shut down. The newspaper reports that the hike in the prices of food and transport fares dampen yuletide celebrations.
