ARISE COMPATRIOTS Magazine Endorsed by Minister Labaran Maku 15 Years Ago – A Legacy of Nation-Building Continues on AriseNaija.comIn the heart of Abuja, at the 2011 Emerging Leaders Conference, a powerful moment unfolded that continues to inspire patriots across Nigeria. The then-Honorable Minister of Information and Communication, Mr. Labaran Maku, publicly endorsed ARISE COMPATRIOTS Magazine — a best-selling publication dedicated to Politics, Nationhood, Self-Help, Events, Fashion, and Sports.

The Minister applauded the publisher, for his outstanding contribution to nation-building through the magazine’s compelling content that painted “the Nigerian Dream” clearly for all to pursue and run with.

This historic handshake and endorsement captured the essence of leadership recognizing visionary media efforts. Minister Maku’s words highlighted how ARISE COMPATRIOTS was already shaping conversations around youth in politics, women’s empowerment, and the broader vision for a united, progressive Nigeria.

Fifteen years later — yes, it’s been a full decade and a half since that memorable 2011 moment — the spirit of that endorsement lives on stronger than ever. ARISE COMPATRIOTS helped spark a movement of positive storytelling, and today, we carry that torch forward right here on arisenaija.com, Nigeria’s Good News Hub.
