A national newspaper, ‘National Mandate’, has hit the newsstands Tuesday.
The paper’s vision, according to the publisher and CEO, celebrated journalist, Dave Agwazim, “is to be the best newspaper that provides media content and preserves the socio-cultural and entertainment heritage of Nigeria.”
Published by Mandate Printing and Publishing Limited and owned by top businessman, Dr. Iyke Kanu, National Mandate is being edited by veteran journalist, Akin Disu.
“On the cover of the maiden edition of the weekly 40-page newspaper, are scintillating and investigative stories like, ‘Next Level: Economic Situation Worsens… Nigerians Grumble Over Untold Hardship, Lagos Junior League: All Eyes on Sanwo-Olu, Chief Razak Okoya’s Confession, I Get Inspiration From What I Saw In China, Hajia Bola Shagaya Plans Big For 60th Birthday,” Agwazim states, adding that, “based on values of excellence, creativity and professionalism, National Mandate is set to create a reliable media empire that will serve as a reference point for investigative journalism at a time when truth and reliability are fast evaporating from the media space in Nigeria.”
