…To Honour Enduring Icons With Special Editions
City People Magazine, Nigeria’s leading celebrity journal has announced plans to commemorate its 25th year anniversary with various programs and activities.
The long-standing softsell which was founded in November 1996 by a veteran Journalist, Seye Kehinde, who was then the Editor of Tempo Magazine, was established to mirror the lifestyles of Celebrities in Nigeria, and has over the years grown to become the undisputed leader in the Nigeria soft-sell sector.
In a statement released to newsmen in Lagos on Wednesday and signed by the Publisher, Dr. Seye Kehinde, the Company said, “In the spirit of our Silver Jubilee anniversary, City People has lined up special programs that will run from January to December 2021 to commemorate a major milestone.
“The programmes, which will run across all media platforms, aim to celebrate the enduring City People magazine brand as well as icons and personalities who have made monumental mark in various industries from Politics, Entertainment, Sports, Society, and corporate leaders.
“We shall be looking back on our City People magazine editions in the past 25 years to celebrate select men and women of substance who have also remained relevant and in the spotlight for the last 25 years and still counting.
“We shall be dedicating special editions in pull-outs every last Mondays of the month for our teeming readers.”
The statement adds that the vision for the establishment of the City People magazine was to be the largest circulating 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.
Kehinde noted that with the unrelenting mission to enthrone a people-centred reporting of events, City People has remained the pride of celebrity journalism published under the company name, Media Techniques Ltd, as the magazine is the only soft-sell journal in Nigeria with offices and correspondents in major geopolitical zones of the country including Lagos, Ibadan, Abuja, Benin, Kaduna, Kano, Abeokuta and Port-Harcourt.
“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.
