Who we are
INSIDE & ABOUT NIGERIA is owned by INSIDE & ABOUT CITY MAGAZINE which was founded in 2013 by a young vibrant National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) member, Chinecherem P. Okeh, with the zeal to contribute positively to the development of his environment and great nation.
As a Corp member serving in Akwa Ibom State, he experienced firsthand the need for everyone to witness the different sides and angles to being a Nigerian, respecting diversity in purpose and action.
