The Nigerian Xpress, a top-of-the-range print and online newspaper, was formally unveiled to the public in Lagos on Saturday, December 22, 2018.

The public presentation of the maiden print copy and the online edition, was held at The Colonades, on Alfred Rewane Road, Ikoyi, Lagos.

The latest newspaper in the Nigerian media industry is published by The Xpress Publications Limited.

The emergence of the newspaper is informed by the need to make the difference in fulfilling the information needs of Nigerians, irrespective of ethnic group, class, gender, religion and political convictions, a statement on Thursday by the management said.

Envisioned as a market place of ideas, this latest addition to the array of newspapers in the Nigerian media industry will storm the market as a one-stop shop for information, education and entertainment, the statement added.

Rolling out with an all-colour 40-page print copy and a strong online edition, the publication is also fashioned to cater for the unmet needs of the reading public, something that many existing newspapers have not been able to serve.

It also seeks to bridge the gap between the professionalism of the traditional media and the innovativeness of the new media.

The Nigerian Xpress marketing edge, includes: Investigative reports, big interviews and citizen-generated reportage.

Speaking at the unveiling of the newspaper in Lagos, the Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief of The Nigerian Xpress, Steve Nwosu, assured that the newspaper would deliver truthful news and great entertainment that add value to life, while also applying the best journalistic practices and citizen engagement.
