Samlibe Communications Limited has announced the birth of the newspaper, The Daily Monitor.

The Daily Monitor newspaper, according to the company, will be published daily (Monday- Friday) and on weekends (Saturday and Sunday) beginning with The Daily Monitor on Sunday, February 9, 2025.

Headquartered in Lagos, The Daily Monitor, the publisher revealed, will provide unbiased and factual reportage of events at national, state and local government levels as well as happenings in Nigeria’s economic sector.

With ‘monitoring the present, shaping the future, as pay-off’, The Daily Monitor, the publisher asserted further, is geared to paying prime attention to issues impinging the development of Nigeria and well-being of the masses. The newspaper, in doing so, hopes to shape a better future for Nigeria and her people.

“Coming at a critical junction in Nigeria’s political evolution, The Daily Monitor will beam searchlight on actions and inactions of persons occupying political offices with the goal of holding them to account on behalf of the masses. While the newspaper remains non-partisan, it will not hesitate to call to question political office holders, their associates as well as people outside government whose actions exacerbate the pains of the larger Nigerian population.

The newspaper will in its reportage give fair hearing to all sides on every issue, thus upholding a basic tenet of journalism,” the publisher added in a statement.

According to the statement, the newspaper will partner with well-meaning individuals, public and private organisations to champion the upliftment of all segments of society.

“The Daily Monitor is set to shape the future of Nigeria and her peoples through robust monitoring and reportage of events in all sectors of the Nigerian society. The newspaper will provide well-researched contents that not only challenge the status-quo but also proffer viable pathways to better society.

“Most, if not all Nigerians, desire a better future for themselves, families, and their organisations. They also desire a country at peace with all sections of the society, a country where leaders walk their talk, the citizenry discharge their responsibilities. This future is what The Daily Monitor is poised to pursue through its reportage,” the statement added.
