Editor, THISDAY on Saturday, Obinna Chima, who represented the Managing Director of THISDAY, Mr. Eniola Bello, at the event, thanked the organisers for acknowledging THISDAY’s important contribution to national development.
ThisDay Newspaper has been recognized by the Brand Nigeria Leadership Forum and Awards as one of Nigeria's Top 50 Brands for 2026, in recognition of its significant contributions to journalism, media development, and the country's corporate and public life over the past three decades. The newspaper, founded in 1995 by Prince Nduka Obaigbena, has evolved into a multi-platform media and events business with a strong presence across print, television, fashion, and corporate events.
Its expanded media portfolio includes ARISE News, a 24-hour international news channel with studios across Africa and the global diaspora, which broadcasts through major platforms like Sky and DStv. The assessment of ThisDay Media Group highlighted its impact on the creative and events industries through events such as the THISDAY Awards and ARISE Fashion Week, which have become prominent platforms for African fashion designers and creative talents.
The 2026 ranking also noted that Nigerian-owned brands outnumbered multinational companies for the first time in over a decade, with 27 of the 50 brands listed being Nigerian-owned.
