As the world stands at the intersection of information overload, rising misinformation, and unprecedented digital transformation, the Great Nigerian Assembly (GNA) has taken decisive steps to build media platforms that embody truth, integrity, national pride, and global relevance.

The establishment of the Boards of Directors for our media arms marks a defining moment—one that will serve as a strategic catalyst for:

• Strengthening GNA’s global voice across continents

• Providing credible channels for storytelling, advocacy, and nation-building

• Elevating the GNA brand as a beacon of hope, excellence, and accountability

GNA Weekly, GNA Pacesetter, and GNA TV are not merely media channels—they are global instruments for influence, enlightenment, and transformational leadership.

WHY THIS ANNOUNCEMENT MATTERS

This milestone also honors and recognizes the contributions of those who, over the years, have worked tirelessly—often silently and behind the scenes—using their time, resources, expertise, and unwavering dedication to shape the direction of this vision. Their sacrifices have laid the foundation upon which these media institutions now stand.

In a rapidly evolving world where narratives shape nations, the Great Nigerian Assembly recognizes the urgent need to build professional, ethical, and technologically advanced media institutions that represent:

• the collective intelligence of Nigerians across the world,

• the aspirations of the next generation, and

• the values of transparency, integrity, and national progress.

The newly constituted Boards of Directors will be entrusted with the following responsibilities:

1. Strategic Direction & Global Positioning

They will define and sustain the long-term vision for each media outlet, ensuring full alignment with GNA’s mission of nation-building, diaspora empowerment, and global collaboration.

2. Editorial Oversight & Content Excellence

They will uphold world-class editorial standards, guaranteeing that every publication, broadcast, and report reflects truth, professionalism, credibility, and the highest journalistic ethics.

3. Digital Innovation & Global Reach

From AI-driven tools to cutting-edge digital storytelling, the Boards will guide each media house into becoming a global powerhouse—shaping conversations across Africa, the diaspora, and the international community.

4. Strengthening Partnerships & Global Alliances

They will foster collaborations with journalists, industry leaders, academic institutions, and global media stakeholders to expand GNA’s influence and strengthen international engagement.

5. Sustainability, Expansion & Brand Growth

They will ensure that each media platform thrives—financially, structurally, and operationally—while reinforcing the distinct identity and purpose of the GNA vision.

6. Empowerment and Training

The Boards will champion the training and empowerment of citizens for the new digital age—especially in the practice of responsible journalism amidst the rise of deepfakes, misinformation, and manipulated content.

GNA has partnered with CPI Education, in conjunction with the Global Institute for Certified Journalism, with exam delivery powered by the i3Cert global platform. This partnership ensures continuous professional development, digital literacy, and world-class certification for aspiring and practicing journalists.
