Historically, the Nigerian press is famed for being one of the key drivers in ensuring Nigeria’s independence from colonialism, especially when the Lagos Press helped articulate the case for Nigeria’s independence. In the Second Republic, the Nigerian media became the vehicle for pushing and defending democratic norms. Unfortunately, the darker years of military rule in the country eroded the media and encouraged attacks against journalists and other members of the press.
