As the name implies, AWARENESS is an antidote to ignorance, hence it is our desire to eradicate ignorance and give voice to the voiceless through unbiased coverage and reportage of events which other News media may not sometimes find newsworthy. We believe, firmly too, that the issues of neglect, marginalization, uneven development et cetera that affect most rural areas due to inadequate media coverage would become a thing of the past as THE AWARENESS would beam them for relevant authorities to see. It is our desire to focus our searchlight on the Southwest of Nigeria and the global world at large.
