About ThisDay

Major Daily Center-rightRead with context

ThisDay is a Nigerian national newspaper, the flagship publication of Leaders & Company Ltd. It was founded on January 22, 1995, by Prince Nduka Obaigbena, who serves as its Chairman and Editor-in-Chief. The outlet is also a member of the Belt and Road News Network and has maintained a close relationship with the Chinese embassy in Nigeria since 2014.

Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) rates ThisDay as right-center biased, noting its editorial positions often align with the center-right government and show favorability towards President Bola Tinubu. While rated 'Mostly Factual' in reporting, MBFC indicates poor sourcing techniques and a lack of sourcing. The broader Nigerian media landscape is considered 'partly-free,' with journalists facing threats, harassment, and arrests, and concerns about misinformation. The headline sample reflects coverage of government activities, political figures, and business news, consistent with a major daily in this environment.
