Speaking to the organisation’s work on Current Affairs and Political news, Legit.ng’s Editor-in-Chief, Rahaman Abiola, said that it’s no surprise that the vertical continues to attract over ten million readers in Nigeria, as the news desk keeps citizens abreast of happenings in the government and other day-to-day nation’s affairs that affect an average Nigerian.

 “Like our other recognitions, this is yet another impressive win for Legit.ng and other digital media publishers in Nigeria. Insights like this only help us do better, and serve our audience better. We appreciate Squirrel PR for taking this upon their organisation, to provide data that helps us stay even more committed to ensuring that online users in Nigeria have access to the best personalised news content that aligns with their interests,” added Mr Abiola

In June of this year, Legit.ng was also <a href="https://www.legit.ng/editorial/feature/1539766-reuters-institute-journalism-report-legitng-leads-weekly-online-reach/#:~:text=Legit.ng%20emerged%20as%20the,least%20three%20times%20per%20week." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">recognized</a> in a report by the Reuters Institute of Journalism, for its reach and readership. The report showed that 46% of online users in Nigeria read the platform, and 32% of online users read news from its website at least three times per week. The research took into account data from a survey conducted for English-speaking online news users in Nigeria (18-50) – a subset of a larger, more diverse, media market.
Sharing their excitement about the recognition, Legit.ng took to its social media pages to thank readers and other netizens for their loyalty to the organisation, and their continuous support.
