Our journalism follows the Code of Ethics for Nigerian Journalists and the principles below.
Accuracy
We verify facts before publication, use named sources wherever possible, and explain why when we grant anonymity.
Fairness
People and organisations facing serious allegations are given a fair opportunity to respond before we publish.
Independence
Staff may not accept gifts, payments or “brown envelopes” from sources or subjects of coverage. Conflicts of interest must be declared to an editor.
Opinion and news
Opinion pieces are clearly labelled and kept separate from news reporting.
Corrections
We correct errors promptly and transparently. See our corrections policy.
