Premium Times

Premium Times A multimedia Nigerian publication delivering fresh, factual & reliable news.

Premium Times, founded in mid 2011, believes that the time has come for Nigeria to embrace the challenge of progress and development in a substantial, concrete sense. We bring a huge commitment to offer our country the type of media that will advocate for the people and nudge our nation on the path of development and social reengineering. We are of the view that in terms of its formalistic process

es, and its philosophy of content, the new media that will help spur the challenge of educational revolution, cultural rebirth, and economic development, in Nigeria, must be reflective, thoughtful, analytic and empathetic without a sense of entitlement and insularity. We have come to fill that lacuna in our press, and therefore raise the bar of journalism in our country. We will publish across all formats beginning with this online platform where we hope to appeal to the bulk of our young and middle class elites with a vision of the future and a belief in social change.
