It has been published since 29 May 1968.[1] The publisher, Bendel Newspapers Company Limited, is owned by the Edo State Government.[2] In 1973, a correspondent for the Nigerian Observer wrote an article about an impending teacher's strike in Rivers State, which was published on the Governor Alfred Diete-Spiff's birthday. Taking this as a deliberate insult, Diete-Spiff's aide Ralph Iwowari had the reporter's head publicly shaved and had him beaten with 24 lashes of a cane.[3] At that time the Nigerian Observer was owned by Bendel State, the predecessor of Edo State. The Rivers State newspaper The Tide did not mention the conflict with the teachers.[4] During the administration of President Shehu Shagari (1979-83) the newspaper was subject to harassment by the police, with staff being detained and the premises shut, as were other papers belonging to state governments controlled by opposition parties.[5] Early in 1989 worsening economic conditions forced the paper to close for some time.[6] On 22 July 1993 the administration of General Ibrahim Babangida banned the Nigerian Observer, as well as the National Concord, The Punch and the Daily Sketch.[7] An analysis of the Nigerian Observer and other Nigerian papers published in 1999 noted that it had a relatively small circulation, with only 15% of column inches taken up by advertisements, compared to 50% in a typical North American paper. Many of the ads were government bulletins; low revenue coupled with shortage of newsprint had the effect of limiting coverage of events, and in particular of limiting investigative reporting.[8] References1. ^"Contact Us", Nigerian Observer website.] Retrieved on 19 August 2008. {{Major Nigerian newspapers}}2. ^{{cite web |url = http://library.stanford.edu/depts/ssrg/africa/nigeria/nigerianews.html |title = Countries: Nigeria: News |publisher = Stanford University |accessdate = 2011-05-13 |deadurl = yes |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20101104202824/http://library.stanford.edu/depts/ssrg/africa/nigeria/nigerianews.html |archivedate = 2010-11-04 |df = }} 3. ^{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Abm-v6wGWOQC&pg=PA80 |page=80 |title=Romancing the Gun: The Press as Promoter of Military Rule |author=Ndaeyo Uko |publisher=Africa World Press |year=2004 |ISBN=1-59221-189-5}} 4. ^{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bX7aJ8faPvoC&pg=PA144 |page=144 |title=Mass Media, People, and Politics in Nigeria |author=Luke Uka Uche |publisher=Concept Publishing Company |year=1989 |ISBN=81-7022-232-X}} 5. ^{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5o4k98EUAJEC&pg=PA133 |page=133 |title=Crippled Giant: Nigeria since independence |author=Eghosa E.
