Seventeen Years of Journalism, Media Training and Brand Consultancy
Founded in April 2009, National Impact Glitz Magazine was established with a vision to tell authentic Nigerian stories while nurturing the next generation of media professionals.
Over the past 17 years, the publication has evolved into one of Nigeria’s respected general-interest magazines, producing more than 160 editions covering politics, business, the economy, culture, lifestyle, entertainment, gospel, maritime affairs, events, and compelling human-interest stories that shape public discourse.
Beyond publishing, the organization has trained more than 40 journalists, equipping young reporters, writers, editors, and media practitioners with practical skills required in today’s evolving media landscape. Many of its trainees now work across leading media organizations and other sectors within and outside Nigeria.
National Impact Glitz Magazine has also expanded its footprint in media consultancy, public relations, branding, and strategic communications, providing professional advisory services to corporate organizations, public institutions, entrepreneurs, and individuals seeking to strengthen their public image and communication strategies.
Driving Youth Development Through Education
The media organization has also made significant investments in youth empowerment through its “Rule Your World” initiative, a 10-year educational and career counselling programme implemented across secondary schools in Imo State.
The initiative inspired the publication of several editions of Grand Impact Magazine, designed specifically for students, while introducing programmes such as annual science, arts and commercial quizzes, essay competitions, speech contests, beauty pageants, and sporting activities aimed at encouraging academic excellence and leadership development.
National Impact Glitz Magazine has equally partnered with numerous corporate organizations and institutions on developmental initiatives, including spearheading the widely publicized National Prayer Summit during Nigeria’s 60th Independence Anniversary, which brought together over 60 Christian leaders at the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
Publisher Reaffirms Commitment to Truth and Impact
Reflecting on the publication’s journey, Mr. Omenihu Alfred said the organization remains committed to promoting truth, creativity, and social impact through journalism.
“For 17 years, we have stayed committed to truth, creativity and impact. We started as storytellers and have grown into builders of storytellers. Through our organization, numerous biographies, autobiographies and books on different subjects have been produced. From our newsroom to our training halls and consultancy boardrooms, our mission has remained the same—to inform, inspire, shape opinions and influence society positively. We owe this journey to our readers, clients, trainees and partners who believed in us.”
He also expressed appreciation to long-standing supporters of the organization, including Sir Stanley C. Amuchie, Executive Director and Chief Operations & Information Officer of Fidelity Bank Plc, High Chief Ambassador Dr. Nzeribe S. Okegbue, President of EAPEAN, Dr. Adedoye S. Olabode, Vice President of Operations Research Nigeria, Chief Sir Chris Ernest Enwereuzor, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Chris Ernest (Nig.) Ltd, and several other partners whose support has contributed to the organization’s growth.
Commitment to the Future of Nigerian Journalism
As it celebrates 17 years of excellence, National Impact Glitz Magazine says it will continue investing in quality journalism, media capacity building, digital publishing, strategic communication, and consultancy services that help organizations and individuals communicate with greater clarity, credibility, and influence.
The publication is a member of the Congress of Nigerian Maritime Media Practitioners (CONMMEP), where its publisher serves as Financial Secretary, and is also affiliated with the Federated Maritime Media Chapel of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), Lagos State Council.
The anniversary celebration is expected to provide a platform for robust discussions on Nigeria’s economic future, leadership, media development, and the role of journalism in strengthening democracy while celebrating a publication that has spent 17 years informing, inspiring and shaping public discourse.
