Pan-African Media

Media built for Africa's
next generation.

Our Properties Investor Information

We're not building another media company. We're building an African media institution.

Kibati Media is a next-generation African media company building the brands, platforms, and intellectual property that will shape how Africa sees itself, and how the world sees Africa. We're building in public, beginning with The Week Junior Nigeria, launching in September 2026.

Our conviction

Africa does not lack stories. It lacks institutions built to tell them with permanence. We are building those institutions — starting with the belief that a child who reads widely, thinks critically, and understands their world becomes the kind of adult Africa needs most.

Who we are

A media company
built for the long game.

Kibati Media is a pan-African media holding company, building a portfolio of trusted media brands across the African continent and diaspora. We operate at the intersection of world-class editorial standards and deep African cultural intelligence.

Founded by Seun Solaja and headquartered across the UK-Nigeria corridor, Kibati Media is building in public — with transparency, intention, and a long-term view of what African media can become.

Our first property, The Week Junior Nigeria, launches September 2026 under a signed licence with Future plc (UK) — the publishers of the original Week Junior, one of Britain's most trusted children's publications.

For investors

The case for investing
in African media.

Kibati Media is building at the right time — when African media is chronically underfunded, African audiences are chronically underserved, and the infrastructure to reach them at scale is finally maturing. We're asking investors to help launch Nigeria's first licensed edition of one of the world's most respected children's current affairs brands.

  • 01 A licensed, de-risked first property. The Week Junior Nigeria operates under a signed licence from Future plc — one of the UK's largest media companies. The editorial framework, brand equity, and publishing model are proven.
  • 02 A vast, underserved market. Nigeria has 210M+ people, Africa's largest economy, and a growing middle class with rising disposable income — and almost no quality children's media to speak of.
  • 03 A holding company model built for scale. TWJN is the first property — not the only one. Kibati Media is designed to acquire, license, and build media brands across the continent over time.
  • 04 Founders with skin in the game. We are building in public, with transparent operations and a long-term orientation. No shortcuts. No hype.
