InfoSteps is committed to publishing clear, useful, factual and responsible information for Nigerian readers and anyone researching Nigeria.

This Editorial Policy explains how we choose topics, research articles, use sources, handle corrections, and maintain quality across our website.

1. About InfoSteps

InfoSteps is a Nigerian information guide focused on:

• Nigerian states and local guides
• Economy and public data
• Tourism, culture and places
• Local government information
• Public-service explainers
• Data-backed guides for students, researchers, travellers, business owners and general readers

Our goal is to make Nigerian information easier to understand by presenting verified facts, simple explanations, useful tables, context and practical takeaways.

2. Our Editorial Mission

Our mission is to publish information that helps readers understand Nigeria better.

We aim to create articles that are:

• Useful to real readers
• Easy to understand
• Based on credible sources
• Clearly structured
• Updated when necessary
• Honest about data limitations
• Free from unnecessary exaggeration
• Better than generic or unsupported online summaries

We do not aim to publish content only for search engines. Our articles are written to inform, explain and guide readers.

3. Topics We Cover

InfoSteps publishes content in carefully selected categories.

Nigerian States and Local Guides

This includes articles about Nigerian states, local government areas, wards, postal codes, state profiles, population, land area, capitals, administrative structures and local public information.

Economy and Public Data

This includes explainers about GDP, IGR, FAAC, state revenue, public finance, salaries, budgets, economic activity, development indicators and government data.

Tourism, Culture and Places

This includes articles about tourist attractions, museums, waterfalls, historical places, cultural heritage, festivals, travel tips and important destinations in Nigeria.

We may publish other related content where it helps readers understand Nigeria’s public systems, geography, economy, culture or institutions.

4. How We Choose Topics

We choose topics based on reader usefulness, public interest, search demand, available evidence and long-term value.

Before publishing an article, we consider:

• Does the topic answer a real question?
• Will the article help readers make sense of the subject?
• Are reliable sources available?
• Can the topic be explained without unsupported claims?
• Is the article relevant to InfoSteps’ focus?
• Can we add value beyond what is already available online?

We avoid publishing topics that are purely sensational, misleading, unverifiable or designed only to attract clicks.

5. Research Standards

InfoSteps articles are prepared using public information, official sources, reputable reports and editorial review.

Where relevant, we rely on sources such as:

• National Bureau of Statistics
• Nigerian government websites
• State government websites
• Joint Tax Board
• INEC
• NIPOST
• NYSC
• JAMB
• NUC
• NBTE
• NCAA
• NELFUND
• BudgIT
• World Bank
• UNESCO
• Reputable academic publications
• Credible news reports
• Official tourism and cultural institutions

We prefer official sources for public data, government information, statistics, laws, public finance and institutional records.

Where official sources are incomplete or unavailable, we clearly explain the limitation and avoid presenting estimates as confirmed facts.

6. Use of Data, Estimates and Rankings

InfoSteps may publish data-based articles and explainers. However, we do not present uncertain information as final or official.

When using figures such as population, GDP, IGR, land area, salaries, government revenue or economic rankings, we aim to:

• State the source of the data
• Mention the year of the data where available
• Explain whether the figure is official, estimated or historical
• Avoid mixing different years without explanation
• Avoid using outdated figures as current facts
• Clearly separate IGR, FAAC, GDP, budget and total revenue
• Explain data limitations where necessary

If a ranking is not officially available, we avoid presenting it as a definite official ranking. Instead, we may frame the article as an explainer, guide or analysis based on available indicators.

For example, where official LGA GDP data is unavailable, we will not claim that one LGA is officially the richest unless reliable evidence supports that claim. We may instead discuss major economic LGAs, commercial hubs or revenue drivers.

7. Sourcing and References

We aim to include source references in articles that involve data, public policy, government information, historical claims or factual comparisons.

Where appropriate, articles may include:

• External links to official sources
• A “Sources and References” section
• Source names and report titles
• Notes on data limitations
• Explanation of how figures were interpreted

We do not knowingly cite unreliable sources for important public facts.

8. Originality and Content Quality

InfoSteps does not support copied, spun or low-value content.

Our articles are expected to include original editorial value, such as:

• Clear explanations
• Useful tables
• Context for Nigerian readers
• Practical examples
• Frequently asked questions
• Comparisons
• Data limitations
• Public-interest takeaways
• Responsible interpretation of facts

We avoid unnecessary filler, keyword stuffing, misleading titles and exaggerated claims.

9. Use of AI Tools

InfoSteps may use AI tools to support research organisation, outlining, editing, summarisation or drafting.

However, AI tools do not replace editorial judgment.

Before publication, articles should be reviewed for:

• Accuracy
• Clarity
• Source quality
• Unsupported claims
• Repetition
• Misleading statements
• Data limitations
• Reader usefulness

We do not intentionally publish AI-generated claims that have not been checked against credible sources.

10. Corrections and Updates

We aim to correct errors when they are identified.

An article may be updated if:

• New official data becomes available
• A government policy changes
• A source becomes outdated
• A factual error is discovered
• A reader reports a correction
• More reliable information becomes available
• The article requires clearer explanation

When a major update is made, we may update the “Last updated” date on the article.

Readers can report corrections by contacting us at:

dapopaulmayomi@gmail.com

Please include the article title, the correction you are suggesting and any reliable source that supports the correction.

11. Neutrality and Fairness

InfoSteps aims to present information in a fair, responsible and non-misleading way.

We avoid content that unfairly targets individuals, ethnic groups, religions, communities or regions.

For cultural, religious or historical topics, we aim to use respectful language and avoid presenting myths, beliefs or traditions as scientific facts unless clearly explained as cultural belief or historical context.

We do not publish content intended to spread hate, misinformation, harassment or discrimination.

12. Headlines and Titles

Our headlines should describe the article clearly and honestly.

We avoid:

• Clickbait
• False urgency
• Misleading claims
• Unsupported “richest,” “best,” “most powerful” or “strongest” claims
• Titles that promise information the article does not provide

A good InfoSteps headline should help readers understand what the article is about before they click.

13. Advertising and Editorial Independence

InfoSteps may display advertising or earn revenue from ads and partnerships.

Advertising does not determine our editorial conclusions.

We aim to keep editorial content separate from advertising content. If sponsored or paid content is ever published, it should be clearly identified as sponsored, paid or promotional.

14. Images and Media

We aim to use images and media responsibly.

Where possible, we use:

• Original images
• Properly licensed images
• Public-domain or freely usable images
• Images with appropriate attribution where required

We avoid knowingly using copyrighted images without permission.

Images should support the article and should not be used to mislead readers.

15. Reader Responsibility

InfoSteps provides information for general educational and informational purposes.

While we aim for accuracy, readers should verify important information from official sources, especially where the matter involves legal, financial, academic, immigration, tax, health, government or safety decisions.

Our articles should not be treated as professional legal, tax, financial, medical or government advice.
