In 2021, the Abuja station, managed by Femi D Amele, received a Press Freedom Award[2] from the Nigeria Union of Journalists.[3]
In 2020, the National Broadcasting Commission fined Nigeria Info's Lagos station 5 million naira for a comment made on one of its programs that was deemed to be hate speech.[4]
