DevReporting set for take off, appoints Mojeed Alabi as team lead

DevReporting, an online newspaper established by Development Reporting Services Limited, is set to begin operations.

With its headquarters in Lagos, the newspaper said its interest is to promote informed discourse, balanced reporting, and comprehensive impact on development issues in Nigeria and Africa.

This is contained in a statement issued by the organisation’s Administration and Finance Control Manager, Omobayo Azeez, on Monday, March 3, 2025.

Azeez enjoined Nigerians, Africans, and its targeted global audience to visit the company’s website and social media pages on X,Facebook, and LinkedIn.

This is as the organisation announced a former Development Editor at PREMIUM TIMES, Mojeed Alabi, and a former correspondent at Daily Trust Newspaper, Christiana Alabi-Akande, as team lead/editor-in-chief, and managing editor, respectively.

Azeez noted that as a niche platform, the newspaper intends to “disrupt the status quo with a unique style of covering development issues in Nigeria and beyond through four major projects of DevCinema, DevCheck, DevCast, and DevStats.”

He added: “The details of these initiatives will be made public in the coming days but Nigerians and Africans should be prepared to witness firsthand rich exclusives, analysis and investigations on happenings within the development sectors, especially education, health, and humanitarian issues and how they affect the people.

“The truth is that when the fight against the colonialists was in vogue, the media did well; when the military incursions dominated the post-colonial era, journalism also played its part.

“But now that democracy seems to have been enthroned and the new challenges are the issues of poor leadership, corruption, and stark underdevelopment, journalism needs to refocus by significantly highlighting these issues in connection with the people’s survival. That is the vacuum DevReporting has come to fill.”
