Nation Media Group-Uganda (NMG-U) is making a significant comeback, with its prominent media outlets, NTV Uganda and the Daily Monitor newspaper, set to resume their operations. This return marks a renewed dedication to serving the Ugandan public with credible and independent news.

The group, a cornerstone of media in Uganda, has historically played a crucial role in informing the populace and fostering public discourse. Their temporary hiatus from broadcasting and print has been keenly felt, underscoring the vital role they play in the nation’s media landscape.

In a statement released on August 6, 2026, NMG-U expressed its unwavering commitment to the principles of objective reporting, ethical journalism, and public service. The company emphasized its dedication to providing accurate and timely information, holding power to account, and amplifying the voices of the Ugandan people.

The return of NTV and Daily Monitor is anticipated to be met with widespread approval from a public that relies on these platforms for diverse perspectives and in-depth reporting. The media house has assured its audience that it will continue to invest in its journalists, technology, and content to deliver news that matters.

This move signals resilience within the independent media sector and a steadfast resolve to overcome challenges. NMG-U’s return is not just about resuming operations; it’s a promise to continue being a vigilant watchdog and an indispensable source of information for Uganda.
