News Agency of Nigeria is the primary news content provider for Nigeria’s newspapers, electronic media and bloggers.
Established by the Nigerian Government via Decree 19 in 1976, NAN became operational on 2 October 1978, providing General News Service to subscribers in three bulletins published daily.
With the introduction of satellite technology in 1998, the agency began to transmit stories to its clients simultaneously as they were edited and fit to print. This continues today, via the world wide web and e-mail, with subscribers now able to log-in to our portal, newsroom.nan.ng, to pick the news they want.
