About us – Obasanjonews24

Obasanjonews24, publishers of Obasanjonews, is a Nigerian media organization based in Lagos with a vision to help strengthen Nigeria’s democracy, advance the socioeconomic well being and rights of the people, promote and enrich their cultural practices, and advocate for best practices, good governance, transparency and human rights, in line with the values expected of a modern democratic state.

Proprietors of the organization believe that of all the institutions of a modern democracy, the media matter in large measure. It can help forge new communities, pursue political and social agenda in support of a better society, and help build visions of hope and resistance. Sadly the media can also lead in negative directions: dividing people and truncating hope and vision. In our country, the media have played both roles at different times in our history.

Obasanjonews, founded in mid 2017, believes that the time has come for Nigeria to embrace the challenge of progress and development in a substantial, concrete sense.We bring a huge commitment to offer our country the type of media that will advocate for the people and nudge our nation on the path of development and social re-engineering.

We are of the view that in terms of its formalist processes, and its philosophy of content, the new media that will help spur the challenge of educational revolution, cultural rebirth, and economic development in Nigeria must be reflective, thoughtful, analytic and empathetic without a sense of entitlement and insularity.

We have come to fill that lacuna in our press, and therefore raise the bar of journalism in our country.
