The Parliament Diary, Nigeria’s leading legislative news outlet, is set to mark its 5th anniversary with a high-profile event featuring a public lecture, award ceremony, and the official unveiling of a N250 million Digital Press Initiative.
The celebration is scheduled for Thursday, July 31, 2025, at 1:00 PM, and will be held at the prestigious NICON Luxury Hotel in Abuja.
In a statement signed by its Publisher, Chief P.C. Enebuse, The Parliament Diary described the anniversary as a milestone that reflects its unwavering commitment to excellence in parliamentary reporting, civic enlightenment, and democratic accountability.
A major highlight of the event will be a keynote lecture to be delivered by Prof. Phillip Adeyinka Oyadiran, Dean of the Faculty of Management Sciences at Gowon University FCT (formerly University of Abuja), who is expected to speak on the role of the media in strengthening democratic institutions.
In addition to the lecture, the ceremony will feature an award presentation to individuals and institutions that have made outstanding contributions to parliamentary affairs and governance in Nigeria.
The centerpiece of the anniversary celebration will be the launch of The Parliament Diary’s N250 million Digital Press Initiative, a cutting-edge platform aimed at transforming the landscape of digital legislative journalism in the country.
According to the organisers, the new digital press will promote transparency, enhance public access to legislative information, and empower journalists with advanced tools for real-time reporting from Nigeria’s legislative chambers.
“The general public, members of the press, civil society organizations, and government officials are all warmly invited to this landmark occasion as we celebrate five years of credible, comprehensive, and consistent coverage of Nigeria’s democratic processes,” the statement added.
Established in 2020, The Parliament Diary has become a trusted source for in-depth coverage of parliamentary proceedings and policy analysis. Over the past five years, it has played a vital role in bridging the gap between lawmakers and the citizens they serve.
