- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

The Oyo State Primary Healthcare Board held strategic discussions with VIYA Health Nigeria on Thursday, August 6, 2026, to expand access to quality and affordable family planning services across the state. The meeting, which took place at the State Secretariat in Agodi, Ibadan, focused on increasing the availability of Medogen SubQ. This product is a World Health Organization prequalified family planning solution produced by Incepta Pharmaceuticals, of which VIYA Health is the exclusive distributor in Nigeria.
Dr. Muideen Babatunde Olatunji, the Executive Secretary of the Oyo State Primary Healthcare Board, stated that the state government is committed to improving primary healthcare services and investing in health commodities. He noted that providing a wider range of safe and affordable options through Primary Health Centres is intended to improve maternal and child health outcomes and empower families to make informed reproductive health decisions.
Billy Shoaga, the Business Lead for VIYA Health Nigeria, said the collaboration reflects the company's commitment to working with state governments to reduce unmet family planning needs. He emphasized that public private collaboration is vital for ensuring that high quality healthcare products reach the people who need them most.
