• Retirement & Pension: Retirement planning, savings and investments.
• Financial literacy: Educate readers on monetary policy, how money works, what money is.
• Success Stories: reveals stories behind other successful investors, what worked and how it works.

Our values

We publish with three core principles:

1. Accuracy: We verify information and cite sources where applicable.
2. Clarity: We explain complex financial topics in plain language and practical steps.
3. Integrity: We make our editorial standards, corrections process, and advertising policy transparent.

Editorial standards & fact-checking

All articles follow our editorial checklist:

• Clear byline and author bio with credentials or relevant experience.
• Data-backed reporting or links to primary sources (CBN, NBS, reputable research, regulatory notices, etc.) where applicable.
• Reviewed by an editor for accuracy, grammar, and legal compliance before publication.
• Disclaimers on any content that provides financial suggestions — content is educational and not personalised financial advice.

If we report factual errors, we correct them promptly and note the correction at the top or bottom of the article (see Contact Us to report an error).

Authors & expertise

Every article displays the author’s name and a short bio. Our contributors include financial journalists, chartered accountants, fintech practitioners, and subject-matter experts. Where authors are not registered professionals, we include editorial oversight and fact checks from qualified reviewers.

Advertising & sponsored content

WatchNigeria displays advertising to support our work. Advertisements are clearly labelled and separated from editorial content. We do not accept adverts that promote fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal products or services. Sponsored articles are identified as “Sponsored” and are subject to the same editorial standards as our regular content.

Privacy, disclaimers & important links
