Abidjan Net News

https://www.abidjan.net/
Abidjan Net News is the media company behind Abidjan.net, Ivory Coast’s long‑running digital news and information portal launched on 7 August 1998 by co‑founders Jil‑Alexandre N’Dia and Daniel Ahouassa. Now part of the Weblogy group, it operates a 24/7 newsroom that reports on politics, the economy, society, culture and sport, and mixes original coverage with agency feeds from partners such as AFP and the national press agency AIP. The outlet publishes daily headline round‑ups of Ivorian newspapers (“Titrologie”), produces video journalism under the Abidjan.net TV banner, and streams a web radio aimed at news and community programming. Beyond news, it provides public‑service information that residents actually use: duty‑pharmacy rosters, obituaries, legal and corporate announcements, market and exchange‑rate indicators, and a business directory. Designed for a broad audience at home and in the diaspora, it distributes its content on mobile apps in addition to the site. Abidjan.net has been recognized within the country’s digital‑press awards as the leading Ivorian web portal and news aggregator. As Weblogy’s flagship brand, it also anchors a wider West African network of city and country portals, giving the newsroom regional context and reach while keeping Ivory Coast at the center of its agenda.
