Newswatch Who’s Who in Nigeria (2^nd Edition) is an update of the maiden edition which was published in 1990. It is a standard reference on Nigerians of outstanding accomplishment; the movers and shakers in Nigeria, captains of industry and commerce, titans of the academia, renowned administrators, great scientists, prominent statesmen, famous writers and journalists, barons of the bar and bench, military big-wigs, governors, ministers, commissioners and other leading personalities of the day.

Unlike the first edition which contained 2,200 entries and was 803 pages long, the 2^nd edition is much bigger, containing more than 4,000 entries and is 1, 388 pages. It is also the most up to date bibliographical encyclopedia on and about Nigerians of merit.

As expected, the 2^nd Edition benefits from the experience of producing the maiden edition as it is richer both in terms of depth of information and breadth of coverage. An innovation introduced in the new edition is the adoption of the dictionary format, which makes for easy reference.
