Since its establishment in 2021, Congress Newspaper has remained a credible platform for quality journalism, in-depth reporting, and storytelling that captures the spirit and challenges of the Niger Delta and Nigeria at large. Its sister platform, Congress TV Online, has equally made a mark by visually documenting key developments in the region.
Speaking ahead of the anniversary, Sir Ozobo Austin, Editor-in-Chief of the media outfit, stated:
> “This celebration is more than a commemoration of our progress—it is a tribute to the voices of the Niger Delta. We appreciate the unwavering support from our audience and look forward to celebrating this moment together.”
The Congress team calls on all lovers of ethical journalism, community development, and regional progress to join in this celebration and support the mission of telling authentic stories from the heart of the Niger Delta.
