Daily Times Digital Archive

Published since 1925, Daily Times is regarded as one of the most influential newspapers in post-independence Nigeria. Among the most widely circulated newspapers in Nigeria, Daily Times has consistently covered important events in Nigerian history, including the discovery of oil in Nigeria (1956), Nigerian Independence (1960), the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970), the Second Republic (1979–1983), the transition to democracy (1999), and ongoing religious violence (2000– ). The Daily Times Digital Archive is a valuable resource for scholars of African studies, gender studies, history, and politics.
