About The Gazette News Nigeria

Who We Are

The Gazette News is an independent, digital-native news organisation covering Nigeria, Africa, and global stories that matter to the continent’s growing presence in the world. We were built on a single conviction: the people of Nigeria and Africa deserve journalism that serves them — not the powerful, not the political class, and not advertisers with agendas.

We publish from Nigeria, with reporters tracking national affairs from Abuja and Lagos, and correspondents following African continental and international developments that shape the lives of Nigerians at home and in the diaspora.

Our Mission

To inform, illuminate, and hold power accountable — through journalism that is accurate, independent, human-centred, and impactful. We exist to tell the stories that matter: to the Nigerian on the street, to the African on the rise, and to the world watching this continent’s transformation.

Our Vision

To become Nigeria’s most trusted independent news platform and a leading African voice in global digital journalism — a publication whose reporting sets the national agenda, shapes policy conversations, and earns the confidence of readers from Abuja to Accra, from Lagos to London.

Truth — Every claim is verified. Every source is challenged.
Independence — We answer to our readers and our conscience, not to politicians or advertisers.

Fairness — Every subject of a story deserves a fair hearing and the right to respond.

How We Are Funded

The Gazette News Nigeria is funded through digital advertising — including Google AdSense — sponsored content partnerships, and reader support. Sponsored content is clearly labelled and never influences our editorial decisions. We do not accept funds from political parties, government agencies, or public officials in exchange for editorial coverage.

Technology and Journalism

The Gazette News is at the forefront of responsible AI adoption in African journalism. We use artificial intelligence as a research, workflow, and editorial enhancement tool — but every story you read is reported, verified, and written by human journalists. We believe AI should amplify journalism, never replace the journalist.

Our Team

The Gazette News is founded and led by Vangawa Bolgent, a multimedia journalist, IT specialist, and public relations strategist with extensive experience in Nigerian political reporting, investigative journalism, and digital media development. Our team includes reporters, editors, researchers, and digital specialists committed to the highest standards of independent journalism.
