F awona is a Nigerian digital news and lifestyle platform committed to delivering accurate, timely, and relevant stories to a generation of readers who are informed, curious, and engaged with the world around them. Founded and operated from Calabar, Cross River State, Fawona covers the stories that matter — from the corridors of university campuses to the halls of national politics, and from local community developments to global events that shape our lives.
“Our goal is simple: to give readers information they can trust, told in a voice that speaks to them.”
At its core, Fawona exists to bridge the gap between campus life and the broader Nigerian experience. We believe that young Nigerians deserve a media platform that takes their realities seriously — one that reports on the protests happening at their university gates with the same rigour it applies to national political developments or international affairs. That belief drives every story we publish.
Our coverage spans local and campus news, Nigerian and international politics, business, sports, entertainment, and lifestyle. Whether we are breaking news about events at the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS), profiling inspiring young Nigerians, or analysing global trends through a Nigerian lens, our commitment to factual, well-reported content remains unwavering.
Founder & Editor
Fawona was founded by Godsfavour Ewona, a Mass Communication student at the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS), Calabar. Driven by a passion for journalism and a desire to amplify stories from within the Nigerian campus community, Godsfavour established Fawona as a credible platform where local voices and national conversations could coexist. Her work reflects a deep commitment to public interest journalism and the role of media in holding institutions accountable.
What We Stand For
We verify before we publish. Every story on Fawona is held to a standard of factual integrity.
We cover what matters to young Nigerians — on campus, in our communities, and beyond.
Fawona is independently run. Our editorial decisions are guided by public interest, not external pressure.
We are part of the communities we cover. Cross River State is not just our base — it is our beat.
We welcome tips, story ideas, corrections, and contributions from readers and fellow journalists. If you have a story you believe deserves coverage, we want to hear from you. Fawona is not just a blog — it is a growing media platform, and every reader is part of that story.
