Meet Opemipo Adeniyi, The CEO Of Naija News

Opemipo Olawale Adeniyi is a Nigerian journalist, entrepreneur, and the founder of Naija News, a Nigerian Online Newspaper.

He is an experienced journalist with several years of professional work experience; an eloquent communicator who has reported on major developments in Nigeria. 

Opemipo obtained his first degree in Business Administration at Bowen University Iwo, Osun State Nigeria in 2011. Thereafter, he bagged a Master’s degree in the same course at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU).

His journey as a journalist began at the now-defunct Whispernaija.com in 2012 and founded Naija News in 2016.

The media mogul, who is firmly at war with fake news, believes it is expected of every responsible media to verify every News reportage, even at the expense of speed. Little wonder that Naija News has managed to contend the ‘big boys’ within its 5 years of establishment.

In an era where every Tom, Dick and Harry now call themselves ‘journalists’, Opemipo has chosen his watchword to be “quality over quantity”.

Naija News is a native digital newspaper platform, and an independent news organization focused on serving the Nigerian audience — and the world at large — with verified and undiluted news reports.

When it comes to Nigerian political and entertainment news, Naija News has carved out a reputation. The platform is one of the biggest in Nigeria with millions of monthly readers across Nigeria and beyond.

The company is known to defend the practice and promotion of the principles of journalistic integrity by independently covering stories without any form of fallacy or influence from financial or advertisers’ interests.
