Lagos Metropolitan
Our Commitment
Lagos Metropolitan is published by Lagos Metropolitan Media Company Limited, a Nigerian newspaper, magazine, and digital publisher founded in 2020. We report on civic governance, business, urban living, and everyday life in Lagos with one goal: to give our readers information they can trust and act on.
This page explains how we source and verify our reporting, how we handle mistakes, and how you can reach us if something needs to be corrected.
Editorial Standards
Accuracy. Every story is expected to be supported by named sources, on-the-record documents, or direct reporting wherever possible. Where a source requests anonymity, our editors know that person’s identity and the reason for the anonymity before publication.
Independence. Our newsroom’s editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers, sponsors, and any business or political interest. Advertising and sponsored content never influence what we choose to cover or how we cover it.
Sourcing and attribution. When we republish, summarize, or build on reporting from another outlet, wire service, or press release, we say so clearly and link to the original source. Original reporting — interviews, on-the-ground coverage, and document review conducted by our own staff — is identified as such.
Bylines. Every news article is credited to the reporter or reporters who wrote it. Our staff and regular contributors are listed on our [Our Team / Authors] page, along with a short bio for each.
Conflicts of interest. Writers and editors disclose to their editor any personal, financial, or organizational interest that could reasonably affect their coverage of a story. Where a conflict exists, the story is reassigned or the connection is disclosed to readers.
Advertising and sponsored content. Any paid or sponsored content is clearly labeled as such and is visually distinct from our independent editorial coverage. It does not appear in our news sections or news sitemap.

If you believe an article is inaccurate, unfair, or should be reviewed, contact us using the details above with the article’s headline and URL, and a short description of the concern. We aim to acknowledge correction requests within 48 hours and to resolve them promptly once verified.
Corrections Policy
We correct our mistakes openly rather than quietly editing them away.
How we handle errors:
- Factual errors — incorrect names, dates, figures, quotes, or other verifiable facts — are corrected as soon as they are confirmed. The article is updated, and a correction note is added at the top or bottom of the piece stating what was changed and when.
- Clarifications — where the facts were correct but the wording was unclear, misleading, or open to misinterpretation — are noted the same way.
- Significant errors that affect the substance of a story (for example, misidentifying a person, or a material error in a figure that changes the meaning of the report) are corrected with a visible editor’s note explaining the change, and in cases where the original was materially wrong, we consider a follow-up story.
- Minor edits — typos, formatting, broken links, or updates to reflect a fast-moving news situation — are made without a formal correction note, but the article’s “last updated” timestamp reflects the change.
How to request a correction: Email [corrections@lagosmetropolitan.com] with the article link, the specific claim you believe is wrong, and — where possible — a source we can use to verify it. Every request is reviewed by an editor; we do not remove or alter published reporting based on a request alone without verifying it first.
Transparency: Corrections are dated and left visible on the corrected article rather than being deleted. We do not silently alter a published story’s substance.
