Nigeria Local Government News (NLGN) has recorded another major milestone in its drive for national recognition and institutional partnerships.
The Publisher/CEO, Mr. David Tosin Bakare, led by the Chairman and former Presidential Spokesperson, Mallam Garba Shehu, paid a courtesy visit to the Honourable Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris (fnipr), in Abuja.
The visit is part of NLGN’s strategic engagements following the formal unveiling of its maiden magazine edition in Ibadan on October 24, 2026.
The Minister received the delegation with remarkable warmth as the Publisher formally presented a copy of the magazine.
The delegation introduced NLGN’s vision: to document, celebrate and promote measurable development at the grassroots while strengthening public awareness of local governance.
The Minister expressed goodwill towards the initiative and promised his support.
SARDAUNAN DUTSE APPLAUDS NLGN’S QUALITY, PLEDGES SUPPORT
In another engagement, the delegation met prominent businessman and philanthropist, Alhaji Nasiru Danu, OFR, the Sardaunan Dutse and Taffida Babban Daura._
He was particularly impressed by the quality of the publication, its presentation and production standards.
He commended the initiative and pledged his support towards ensuring that the magazine succeeds in the marketplace.
Speaking on the engagements, Mallam Shehu said NLGN was conceived to address a longstanding gap: the limited sustained attention given to development activities within local government communities.
According to Bakare, beyond its flagship magazine, NLGN is developing an integrated media ecosystem covering digital journalism, newsletters, audiovisual news, grassroots research, marcomms, training and strategic partnerships.
The Abuja engagements come barely three weeks after the official launch on October 24, 2026, at Golden Tulip, Ibadan, Oyo State.
