LEADERS & COMPANY LTD (Registration No. 214 307) began trading in January 1995. Its flagship newspaper, THISDAY, was first published on January 22 1995. Despite entering a crowded newspaper market, which was then home to more than 25 serious national dailies, 10 national newsmagazines and several periodicals, THISDAY quickly established itself as Nigeria's premier newspaper of record. In its first year of publication, it won the prestigious Newspaper of the Year award, which it retained for three consecutive years. Its editors and writers have also won several national and international awards for news coverage, presentation and robust commentary.
