Our vision is to be a leading and revered online media supplier of reliable newsworthy contents that will be beneficial to all, irrespective of ethnicity, religion or social status, through excellent and quality delivery of our services.”

    “We reports general news ranging from politics to business, entertainment, crime, sports, opinion, health, relationship, fashion/lifestyle and anything under daylight. We also conduct high profile interviews with eminent Nigerians and celebrities. 

This is the reason we pride ourselves as the ‘eyes of the nation.

     “In fact, as the ‘eyes of the nation’, we will always ensure that we give Nigerians within and outside our shores the news as it breaks in very balanced, reliable and impartial reportorial on a daily basis. We want readers and advertisers to see us as their most reliable online newspaper and media partner.”

Azuh called on Nigerians to embrace and support the new online publication. 

    He further assured that Daylight would never fail in its professional duty of balanced and impartial news dissemination, especially to teeming/loyal readers and advertisers. Meanwhile, Daylight is expected to be formally launched at an elaborate ceremony soon.

  “We will definitely inform the general public on the actual date, venue and other details once we conclude all arrangements,” Azuh concluded.
