A visit
to the newsstands in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom State shows that there is an
array of assorted newspapers in circulation. According to the League of
Newspaper Publishers, there are 91 (yes, I said ninety one) local newspapers who
have registered with them. This is quite alarming. But there are many other
newspapers who have not registered with the body. As at the last count, there
are over 150 newspapers in circulation in the state. Now, that’s mind-blowing;
right? That is the situation Akwa Ibom has found herself.
Apart
from the commercial capital of the country, Lagos and the nation’s seat of
power, Abuja, Akwa Ibom is rated as the state with the most vibrant media.

Most of
these papers don’t come out regularly. They hit the newsstands “once in a blue moon”.
Few have been consistent in the ever competitive market and have carved an
enviable niche for themselves.
One of
such papers is Daily Detail. The paper
is barely a month old in the newsstand but has become the new kid on the block.
It is garnering massive attention and readership.
From the
beautiful graphics on the cover(s) to the nice page-planning of the inside
pages, Daily Detail is fast warming
its way to the hearts of many newspaper readers.

The newspaper,
published by the immediate past Editor-in-Chief of The Nigerian Pulse, Ndanti Ekuh circulates in Akwa Ibom, Cross
River, Rivers and Delta States. According to the management of the paper,
before the end of the first quarter of 2016, circulation of the paper will
expand to other states in South-South Nigeria.
For a
paper to have set such high standards and great impact within its short stint
in the newspapering business is highly commendable.
Bravo
to #TeamDailyDetail.
