Nasarawa Newsline is a regional news organisation based in Lafia, Nasarawa State, Nigeria. It reports on state and local affairs with a focus on governance, legislative activity, public policy, security, education, business, culture and sport. The outlet blends straight news, features, opinion and interviews aimed at readers in Nasarawa and the state’s diaspora who want consistent, locally sourced coverage.
The organisation’s mission centres on promoting good governance, social justice, integrity and accountability, and on serving as a forum that connects citizens and government in policy discussions. It states a nonpartisan editorial stance that rejects partisan, religious, ethnic and class bias.
Nasarawa Newsline is led by publisher/managing editor Mukhtar Wakeel, a veteran journalist and public affairs commentator, with Shuaibu Usman as general editor. Since October 2023, the outlet has published regular reporting and commentary on issues such as curfews in Karu, debates in the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, community health initiatives and campus developments, alongside profiles and opinion essays about prominent local figures.
Headquartered in Lafia (Opposite Former Lafia Hotel, Shendam Road), the organisation operates close to the communities it covers and often features voices from civic groups and public institutions. In March 2025, the Nasarawa State Commissioner of Information publicly commended the newsroom’s professionalism and objectivity during a courtesy visit by its management, underscoring its role in the state’s media landscape. Overall, Nasarawa Newsline functions as a state-focused newsroom committed to development journalism and accountability reporting.
