By Milton Tella – Exactly 23 years ago, the African Voice newspaper hit the newsstand in London and has since changed the narratives of the ethnic minorities in Britain.
Today, Monday, 15 April 2024, African Voice Newspaper begins its Nigerian operations by circulating in Lagos and Abuja, Nigeria.
Publisher and Editor in Chief of African Voice newspaper, Prince Mike Abiola, said, “The publication has been providing a voice for the ethnic minority communities in the UK, with Nigeria at a critical junction in its economic development, the new operations of the newspaper in Nigeria hopes to serve as a bridge between Nigeria and those in the diaspora, as well as encourage the promotion of trade and investment between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.”
The African Voice newspaper will be available for free pickup at various locations starting with Abuja and Lagos and soft copy will be available for download by subscribers on its website.
The African Voice newspaper has been a vehicle to highlight the significant contributions of Africans in Britain. The newspaper has supported the film industry in Africa through its annual African Film Awards formerly known as Afro Hollywood Awards for 23 years and still running.
