Web Developer Job at The News Chronicle

The News Chronicle is an Abuja-based online newspaper. Starting first as an online publication, The News Chronicle will also encourage Nigerians to strive to their own highest ideals, and to make themselves the starting point of that change they pontificate and pray about. We will, without apologies, look out for the underdogs to ensure that there is a level of justice and fairness for them in a very unjust and unfair world. This, in our opinion, is basically what journalism at its best does, everything else falls between.

In a time of universal deceit and lies such as we currently find in our country, telling the truth could be a revolutionary act. We implore you to be part of this revolution.
