Naija Times

https://ntm.ng
Naija Times is an independent Nigerian online newspaper established on September 15, 2020 by publisher and editor‑in‑chief Ehi Braimah, with veteran journalists Akpandem James and Jahman Anikulapo as founding partners. Guided by the credo “Journalism in the service of society,” it reports national affairs with a public‑interest focus, emphasising accountability, rule of law and citizens’ rights. The outlet covers politics and policy, business and the economy, health, education, culture and sports, and maintains sections dedicated to Nigerians in the diaspora. Editorial commentary is a signature strand: its weekly editorials were collected in 2023 as For a Better Society, a volume that captures debates shaping Nigeria’s governance and civic life. Beyond daily reporting, Naija Times convenes discussions such as the Diaspora Conversations series launched in 2021 to connect overseas Nigerians with issues at home. In 2025 it created the Naija Times Journalism Foundation, a nonprofit that funds investigative reporting, promotes media literacy and backs community development initiatives. Naija Times serves a broad readership of professionals, policymakers and engaged citizens seeking clear reporting and analysis on Nigeria. Its newsroom blends news coverage with opinion, essays and cultural criticism, aiming to elevate standards of public conversation and hold power to account.
