celebrity magazine in Nigeria that will provide useful information that will
touch the lives of its readers positively and it has kept faith on that.

“Citypeople has stayed true to
the vision of its founder over the years not only through its soft-driven style
but also by keeping the people properly informed about social activities within
and outside the country.
“City people put the conventional
daily newspapers on their toes, projecting the areas of journalism that reflect
the lifestyle of people who are making the headlines, the publisher maintained.
He concluded: “The weekly
magazine has done so well in the last 25 years and has remained on the vendors
stand every week without fail. Citypeople has also survived the challenges that
hit the print media in the wake of social media in the last 10 years.”
