Ikeja Record is a Lagos-based community newspaper that focuses on local reporting about the Ikeja area and adjacent communities in Lagos State. Published by The Question Marker Publishing Company, the outlet produces original, non-partisan journalism intended to inform residents, support civic engagement, and spotlight local governance, infrastructure, environment, business and cultural life. Its coverage spans investigative local news, legislative and policy profiles, practical guides for residents (transport, services and events), and human-interest features under sections such as Navigating Lagos, The Political Scene, Annals of Legislation and Eko Lifestyle.
The organisation aims to deepen local democracy and improve community well-being by producing practical, accountability-focused reporting and by amplifying under-reported neighbourhood stories. It operates a freelance-friendly model with published payment guidelines for contributors and runs initiatives to build local reporting capacity—most notably the Ikeja Record Community Report Award, launched in late 2024 to fund in-depth community reporting. The editorial team includes journalists with national newsroom experience and roles in editing, reporting and product development, and the outlet participates in media innovation networks that support independent local media.
Ikeja Record’s audience is primarily residents of Ikeja and other Lagos mainland communities, local civic actors, policy makers and readers interested in practical, community-centered journalism. The organisation positions itself as a development-minded local news source that combines watchdog reporting with service journalism and cultural coverage to make local information more accessible and actionable for everyday Lagosians.
