Publishing Principles
We go beyond headlines to track Nigeria’s growth and innovation. Our newsroom reports stories that matter to the nation’s progress — from startup funding and government programmes to jobs, technology, and youth development. Every story we publish aims to inform and empower Nigerians who are constantly seeking new opportunities, whether they are founders, job seekers, or policy watchers.
We verify facts before publication and cite credible, official sources. Our writers confirm data directly from origin points such as government announcements, startup founders, and institutional press releases. Before an article goes live, it is reviewed and edited by Paulinus Sunday to ensure accuracy, balance, and relevance.
Ownership & Funding Information
Nigeria Startup News is an independent, privately owned digital news platform. We have no political or government affiliation and are not funded by any external agencies. Our operations are supported mainly through digital advertising, partnerships, and clearly labeled sponsored content. Sponsored articles are marked accordingly so readers can distinguish them from editorial reports. We do not accept payment in exchange for biased coverage or influence over our reporting.
Actionable Feedback Policy
We welcome feedback and community engagement. Readers can reach us at contact@nigeriastartupact.ng for comments, corrections, or suggestions. Our editorial team reviews all messages and takes appropriate action within a reasonable timeframe. When feedback leads to an update or correction, we acknowledge it and maintain transparency in how changes were made.
Corrections Policy
Accuracy is central to our reporting. If we discover an error or a reader brings one to our attention, we investigate immediately. Verified mistakes are corrected promptly, and where necessary, an editor’s note is added to explain what was changed. This process helps us maintain credibility and accountability to our readers.
Ethics Policy
We adhere to strict journalistic ethics that emphasize honesty, fairness, and independence. Our contributors and reporters are informed of these ethical standards before publication. We avoid conflicts of interest and do not accept gifts, favors, or incentives that could influence coverage. Our sponsored content policy ensures clear separation between editorial and commercial material.
Diversity & Inclusion Policy
We believe progress comes from fair representation. Our editorial decisions reflect Nigeria’s diversity — across gender, region, and sector. We strive to feature voices from different communities, states, and backgrounds, ensuring balanced coverage of issues that shape innovation and opportunity in the country.
Our newsroom values transparency, fairness, and inclusion in every story we tell. By maintaining these principles, we aim to be a trusted, responsible source of startup and development news for all Nigerians.
