WHO WE ARE:
- A national, quality newspaper.
- Addressed primarily to the attentive national audience for news, features, reviews, insight, analysis, comment, and wholesome entertainment from Nigeria and the wider world.
- Primary goal is to provide our readers and the general public with information they need to be free and self-governing in a democratic society.
- Owes no allegiance to any special interest, group, or creed. Our first loyalty is to the citizens, and our first obligation is to a diligent search for truth or its best approximation. Not the abstract truth or truth as an end in itself, but as a means to justice.
- Without prejudice to the vital need for national unity, we are out to vigorously champion a return to fundamental principles of federalism, believing that it is the arrangement that can best advance the multifarious interests of citizens in a country of many nations and faiths such as Nigeria, and promote justice.
- An independent monitor of power, holding those entrusted with its exercise accountable.
- A forum not just for the public criticism that is an essential to democratic governance, but also for the compromise without which a federation cannot thrive.
