Signature Communications Limited

A registered for-profit in Nigeria, Signature Communications Ltd. (SCL) promotes professionalism, training, research, and innovation in broadcast media and journalism. A previous Foundation award enabled SCL to produce and disseminate Corruption Tori—a local television production that distills investigative reports on corruption and broadcasts in Pidgin English, Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba. With this renewal, SCL is continuing the production and broadcast of Corruption Tori, which reports on anti-corruption wins and progress in major anti-corruption programs and policies. It is mobilizing Nigerians’ active involvement in anti-corruption through social media and amplifying Foundation grantees’ work. The award contributes to On Nigeria’s goal of reducing corruption and strengthening accountability, transparency, and participation.

Founded in 2000, Signature Communications Ltd. is a for-profit, multimedia company engaged in independent productions and content development for television broadcasting in Nigeria. This award enables the company to produce and transmit investigative reports on corruption and how communities are holding public officials to account on local-language television programs. These reports increase awareness, demonstrate that it is possible to tackle corruption, and stimulate local action for accountability. Signature Communications is coordinating with Foundation partners to support new investigations of local corruption cases in target states.
