Naija News is a native digital newspaper serving Nigerian audiences at home and abroad. Founded in 2016 by Opemipo Olawale Adeniyi and published by Polance Media Limited, it operates from Ikoyi, Lagos. The newsroom covers politics, governance, the economy, security, and culture alongside entertainment, sports and celebrity news, publishing around the clock across web and social channels. In 2019 it launched a Hausa‑language service to reach readers across northern Nigeria and the wider Hausa‑speaking region, expanding coverage in English and Hausa. The outlet also runs EcoWatch, a climate and environment reporting project introduced in 2017 that focuses on flooding, pollution, and mitigation efforts.
Naija News states a non‑partisan editorial stance, emphasizing verification, corrections when needed, and independence from commercial influence. Editorial leadership includes editor George Oshogwe Ogbolu, supported by a team of desk editors and reporters. The brand reports more than 10 million monthly page views, reflecting its broad reach in Nigeria’s highly competitive digital news market. Typical output ranges from breaking alerts and government briefings to explainer pieces and daily headline roundups that synthesize major stories for readers. With bilingual publishing, strong distribution on WhatsApp and X, and a focus on accessible reporting, Naija News positions itself as a fast‑moving source of national updates and public‑interest news for a mass audience.
