How to use News by State in All Nigerian Newspapers to follow Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Rivers and every other Nigerian state — with local news, categories and alerts.
News by State lets you follow what's happening in any part of Nigeria, from Lagos and Abuja to the smallest states. This guide explains how to use it in the All Nigerian Newspapers app, and how to combine it with other features for a truly local news experience. To try it as you read, you can download All Nigerian Newspapers free on Google Play.
Open the News by State area and choose from all 36 states and the FCT — Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Rivers, Oyo, Kaduna, Delta, Enugu and the rest. Your feed then focuses on stories from that region, drawn from many papers at once. Switching states takes a single tap, so you can move between regions freely as your interests shift. It's a simple way to zoom in from the national picture to your particular corner of the country.
The real power comes from combining a state with a topic. Pair a category with your state to get exactly the slice you want — Lagos business news, Rivers politics, Kano economy, and so on. This turns a broad regional feed into a precise, personal channel, perfect for professionals tracking their industry locally or anyone who wants a specific angle on their region. It's a level of local control that general news apps rarely offer.
For Nigerians living abroad, News by State is a lifeline to home. Select your home state and keep up with exactly the local news your family and friends are talking about, from anywhere in the world. Combine it with breaking-news alerts and you'll catch important local developments as they happen, even across a time difference. It's one of the most meaningful features for anyone who wants to stay connected to a specific home region while living away.
To stay ahead of local news, turn on breaking-news alerts and pair them with your state. You'll be among the first to know when something important happens where you live — a major announcement, an incident, or a big local story. For many readers, local alerts are even more useful than national ones, because they concern the places closest to them.

Because you can switch states freely, you can explore the whole country. Follow the South-West's commercial and cultural news, the South-East's enterprise and community stories, the South-South's energy and development coverage, or the northern states' politics and security news. If you have ties to more than one part of Nigeria — perhaps you live in one state but come from another — you can follow both, moving between them whenever you like. See the full News by State page for everything available.
Local news has a professional dimension too. Business owners need to know about state policies, local markets and regional developments that affect their operations. Job seekers benefit from local employment news, and professionals in fields like construction, agriculture, trade and education often find state-level developments matter as much as national ones. By combining a state with a business or economy category, you can build a focused local business feed — a genuinely useful tool for anyone whose livelihood is tied to a particular region of Nigeria.
Modern Nigerian life often spans more than one place. You might live in Lagos but come from Enugu, or work in Abuja while family remains in Kano. Because you can switch states freely, the app lets you follow all of those regions, moving between them as needed. Combine each with the categories you care about and you can maintain several tailored local feeds — keeping up with where you live, where you're from, and anywhere else you have ties, all in one free app.
National headlines are important, but what happens in your own state often affects your daily life more directly — the roads, the schools, the local economy, security and community affairs. Following your state's news helps you stay informed about the decisions and events that actually shape where you live, and to engage more meaningfully with local issues. By making state-level news easy to follow, the app helps you stay close to the matters that touch you most directly.
