BluePrint

Blueprint is a Nigerian newspaper brand headquartered in Abuja. It began publication as a weekly newspaper in May 2011 and transitioned to daily publication in September of the same year. The publication operates across several formats: a daily print edition, a weekend edition, a Hausa-language weekly edition known as Manhaja, and an online edition designed to provide updates as events develop. Its Abuja base places it within Nigeria's political and national-news media environment, although the available reference material does not provide detailed information about its ownership, editorial leadership, circulation, revenue, corporate structure, or current operating status. The newspaper's multi-edition model combines general daily reporting with weekend coverage, Hausa-language publishing, and continuously updated digital news. No reliable information is available in the supplied sources to identify a founder, parent company, listed status, website, or specific commercial products beyond these publication editions.

Blueprint began in Nigeria as a weekly newspaper in May 2011. The publication expanded its frequency several months later, becoming a daily newspaper in September 2011. This change established the title as a more regular news outlet rather than a primarily weekly publication. The newspaper is based in Abuja, Nigeria's federal capital, a location associated with national political, governmental, and public-affairs reporting. Over time, Blueprint developed a multi-format publication structure. In addition to its main daily edition, it introduced or maintained a weekend edition intended for weekend readership and a Hausa-language weekly edition called Manhaja. The Hausa edition broadened the publication's linguistic reach within Nigeria and gave the brand a distinct regional-language product alongside its English-language newspaper operations. Blueprint also operates an online edition, which updates as events unfold and extends the newspaper beyond scheduled print cycles. The available reference material does not document the newspaper's founder, ownership, management history, circulation, financial performance, editorial controversies, major campaigns, or subsequent changes in corporate structure. It also does not establish whether the publication remains active at the time of this entry. Accordingly, the documented history is limited to its 2011 launch, its transition from weekly to daily publication, and the development of its print, Hausa-language, weekend, and digital editions.
