The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN ) is a news reporting agency owned and run by the Federal Government of Nigeria just like Nigerian Television Authority .[1]
History [ edit ]
On 10 May 1976, a decree establishing the agency was promulgated into law but its operations began two years after. In March 1978, a board of directors was inaugurated while on 2 October 1978 pilot news operations began.[3]
NAN provides General News Service to subscribers in three bulletins published daily. The agency's website was launched on 8 August 2016, to offer news to the worldwide audience interested in news primarily about Nigeria.
In 2019, NAN signed a content-sharing agreement with Xinhua News Agency .[4]
The agency has a network of reporters covering all the states of the federation proving to be a valuable source of news reports published by regional and national newspapers who lack a country wide coverage.[5] [6]
Managing Director [ edit ]
NAN's Managing Director has been:
Bayo Onanuga (2016–2020)
Buki Ponle (2020–2023)[7]
Ali Mohammed Ali (2023–present)
