Philosophy
As a progressive online platform founded on the best tradition of liberal democracy, politically oriented with a firm commitment to the highest ideals of ethical journalism, Quest Times is established on the principle of responsible dissemination of verifiable information to the public. We are committed to people’s rights to freedom of expression and ensuring the sanctity of public information and public opinion.
We believe in an orderly and just society, where mutual trust is established, unity and national cohesion is attained. We believe public discourse should be noble, respectful and truthful given the spate of fake news.
The promoters of Quest Times, and its managers and editors who define its news and views are Nigerians, firmly committed to the notions of social justice, driven by the belief that Nigeria will not only become a distinguished member of the comity of nations, but a resounding economic powerhouse both in Africa and the world.
The belief in the manifest greatness of Nigeria explains the need to bring the country’s teeming youthful populace to a critical awareness of their pivotal role, educate them on how to discharge their responsibility to deliver the greatness, without compromising the values required to ensure a just and orderly society.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to attract and engage the critical mass of the Nigerian people (the youths) on major issues of the day, knowing that such engagement can swiftly reignite the otherwise doused flames of a noble public spirit in our country.
