The Triumph is a Nigerian English language newspaper, founded in 1980 and published by the Triumph Publishing Company Limited based in the ancient city of Kano, Kano State. It presently publishes a weekly edition with arrangements to return to publishing of the Daily, Weekend and Sunday editions as well as the publishing of its sister vernacular newspapers of AlBishir [1] and AlFijir.[2][1]
The Triumph newspaper was established in June 1980.[3] The company is solely owned by the Ministry of Information, Youths and Culture of the Kano State government.[2] In October 2012 the state government closed down the Company for alleged unviability.[5] The closure was later found to have political undertones.[3]
The present government re-opened it[6] and included in the 2018 budget and a pledge to acquire a modern digital printing machine for the company.[7]
