Aanu Adegun

I’m Aanu Adegun, the founder of Historical Nigeria. With over 15 years of experience in journalism, I’ve worked with some of Nigeria’s most respected media organizations, covering everything from the everyday pulse of our cities on the metro desk to the shifting tides of national power on the politics desk. My journey through the newsroom has always been guided by one thing: a deep belief that our history matters. Historical Nigeria was born out of that conviction - a platform to preserve, document, and share the stories, people, places, and events that have shaped our nation. Through this work, I hope to make history more accessible, more human, and more alive - for today’s readers and generations to come.
