A web portal with a mission to serve as the medium for all public notices issued in Nigeria has made its debut.
Known as TakeNoteNigeria.com, the portal publishes all notices of contracts, tenders, caveats, document losses, change of names, property notices, legal notices, regulatory notices, public alerts, business notices such as notices of Annual General Meetings, admission lists and graduation lists among others.
The General Manager of TakeNoteNigeria.com, Hannah Adepitan-Durojaiye, in a statement issued in Lagos, said the portal, which is the first of its kind in Nigeria, will complement notices published in newspapers, which may be missed by some of the intended audience.
According to her, TNN will ensure no one ever again misses a public notice in Nigeria, as the portal is a searchable repository of all such notices.
Adepitan-Durojaiye said: “The portal was developed in recognition of the need by individuals, professionals in various fields and businesses who are either under legal obligations to publish notices to the public at some point while carrying out their duties and/or will benefit from doing such as a precautionary measure against future harm.”
According to her, TNN offers individuals and organisations the options of posting their notices on the portal by themselves – though these would have to be vetted and approved before they appear as published – or sending the materials to a designated email address for publication.
