Voice of Nigeria, VON, has won the 2023 Best Online Media Website category under the ng. Media Award at the 6th .NG Awards.
VON’s website, accessible via www.von.gov.ng was recognised for its excellence in journalism, amplifying local and original content, and contributing to the advancement of the .ng domain brand.
The event, which was held on Friday in Lagos, the commercial city of Nigeria, was organised by the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NIRA), the official registry for the .ng domain name.
NiRA operates as a stakeholder-driven entity, overseeing the comprehensive database of registrations within the .ng country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) namespace.
Voice of Nigeria, currently headed by Mallam Jibrin Baba Ndace, started in 1961, shortly after Nigeria gained its independence from the British. With the birth of a new country, it became necessary to have a channel through which Nigeria’s growing commitment towards growth and development would be made glaringly visible to the world.
