Daylight Nigeria is an independent daily online newspaper published from Lagos that reports on national news, politics, opinion, entertainment and social issues. Founded in the mid-2010s and operated by Mattuxx Media Limited, the organization produces original journalism including news reports, interviews, photo features and opinion pieces aimed at a Nigerian and diaspora readership seeking timely coverage and commentary on public affairs and culture. Daylight places emphasis on leadership, civic matters and entertainment journalism, and it complements straight news with longer-form interviews and photo essays to provide context and human-interest perspectives.
The outlet is led by publisher and editor-in-chief Azuh Amatus, a multiple award-winning journalist and media entrepreneur with a background in print and online publishing. Under his stewardship Daylight established initiatives that extend beyond reporting, including the Daylight Annual Leadership Awards (DALA), a program that recognises leadership and achievement in public life. The organisation’s editorial remit positions it as both a general-interest news service and a platform for commentary and cultural coverage, attracting readers interested in governance, social issues, entertainment and opinion.
