has been redesigned to serve its users better.
The new features among others
include the
opportunity for visitors
to comment on stories and opinions without delay ,thus
widening the democratic space. The new –look newsdiaryonline.com
which is modelled after Time.com has the outstanding quality of
being aesthetically appealing. These
features in
addition to the site’s emphasis on investigative
journalism
are meant
to satisfy the yearnings of visitors,the publisher said.
Nmodu ,who resigned his post as Deputy Editor-in-Chief of
Lagos-based Insider weekly magazine to focus on

will maintain Newsdiaryonline.com
as a credible
reference point for

necessitated the need to always think of how to serve the

paramount and we shall not let our readers/visitors
within and outside Nigeria down.”
Nmodu also added
that ``regular visitors to our site would observe that we
correctly reported the collapse of the talks between ACN
and CPC long before party chiefs officially admitted it. We also
did an expose on the Pension fraud in the office of Head of
Service of the Federation long
before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC
arraigned the suspects. These are
examples of our numerous
investigative stories in the service of the
country and its people’’. Nmodu
added that: ``We will continue reporting events from
behind -the -scenes to ensure Nigerians
get to know what is actually happening
in spite of
official claims. Visitors can always access newsdiaryonline.com

important to say is
free to send in articles to
editor@newsdiaryonline.com.
