Premium Times Nigeria has been shortlisted for the African Investigative Journalism Award at the upcoming African Investigative Journalism Conference (AIJC). The award, which recognises excellence in investigative reporting across the continent, will be presented at the annual gala ceremony on 11 November in Nairobi, Kenya.
The nomination follows a series of in‑depth investigations carried out by the Premium Times team, which have drawn attention for their thorough research and impact on public policy. Alongside the Nigerian outlet, four other organisations have also been selected as finalists for the award.
AIJC, which convenes journalists, media professionals and policy makers, aims to promote transparency and accountability through investigative journalism. The 2026 conference will feature a range of panels, workshops and the award ceremony, celebrating the best work from across Africa.
Details of the other shortlisted candidates have not yet been disclosed, but the inclusion of Premium Times underscores the growing influence of Nigerian media on the continent’s investigative landscape.
