Abstract: A longstanding conjecture asserts that every finite non-abelian $p$-group has a non-inner automorphism of order $p$. In this paper, we settle the conjecture for a finite $p$-group $G$, $p$ an odd prime, of nilpotence class $n$ with $mboxexp(gamm{a}_{n-1}(G))=p$ and $|gamm{a}_n(G)|=p,$ where $gamm{a}_n(G)$ is the $n$th term in the lower central series. As a consequence, we give a short, quite elementary and derivation free proof of the main result of Abdollahi et al. [J. Group Theory {�f 17} (2014), 267-272], for the odd prime $p$.
