Mana Balagbogbo

Mana Balagbogbo is a Nigerian broadcast journalist, political correspondent, and field reporter with over a decade of experience in television, radio, and on-the-ground reporting. Based in Kogi State, he currently serves as Correspondent for News Central TV, covering politics, governance, security, and public affairs.

In a deliberate professional shift, Mana moved from long-form studio anchoring and newsroom leadership into full-time field reporting, immersing himself in grassroots journalism and frontline storytelling. This transition has deepened his reporting range and strengthened his understanding of the real-world dynamics shaping governance and political life at the subnational level.

Mana has covered some of Nigeria’s most pressing stories — including national elections, minimum wage reforms, fuel subsidy removal, security operations, and constitutional disputes. His reporting experience extends across West Africa, with coverage of key elections and political transitions in Senegal, Togo, Chad, and South Africa.

Known for his ability to simplify complex political and policy issues for diverse audiences, Mana is regarded as a trusted voice on African political developments. He is also a skilled field producer, live reporter, presenter, and fixer, providing end-to-end production support for local and international newsrooms.

His notable works include Chibok Girls: 10 Years After, Rivers Political Crisis, and live election-day reporting from INEC headquarters.
