About Us

Thedispatch is a multimedia news brand that is synonymous with quality, authority and credibility for more than 20 years.

We are owned by Prism Communications. Our ownership structure is unique and exists to secure the financial and editorial independence of thedispatch in perpetuity. It safeguards our journalistic freedom and liberal values, ensuring they remain free from commercial or political interference.

We have built a reputation for fearless reporting, agenda setting investigations and reader friendly activities including advocacy.

We are also renowned for the expose, analysis, perspective, opinion and insight that our journalism provides to a diverse and discerning audience. Every day the content we create – in print, and online platforms – is setting the news agenda, sparking debate and provoking comment.

We also aim to be the world's most accurate and comprehensive. We bring you the latest news and current affairs on a wide range of topics including palace politics, labour news, weird happenstance, politics, campaigns and elections, business news, property news, news inside the government mansions in Abuja and 36 states of the Federation as they occur in Nigeria; and breaking news on world affairs, latest breakthroughs in science and technology including motoring.

Our investigative journalism bend is caustic and implosive, ready to mention the names of culprits without fear or favour. Our website breaks news from some popular sites to you automatically and continuously 24/7, within around 10 minutes of publication.

Thedispatch is committed to innovation and the use of new technology – such as augmented reality – to improve our journalism and seek new, engaged audiences. That’s why our advocacy is solving challenges being faced by our publics.
