“Mata Media, a pioneering women-only media organisation, is proud to announce its official launch as the first Hausa-language media outlet of its kind in Nigeria.

“Mata Media boasts of a team of skilled women journalists passionate about promoting women’s empowerment, challenging stereotypes, and driving social change through quality journalism,” she said.

She noted that the organisation’s goal is to create a safe space for women to share their experiences, perspectives, and ideas, and to inspire a new generation of women leaders.

According to her, the Media outlet will be led by Tukur, a seasoned journalist with extensive experience in Hausa media, and Hafsat Bahara as Editor.

She said that Mata Media would feature a wide range of content, including news, features, profiles, and analysis centered around women’s issues and concerns.
