The Triumph newspaper was established in June 1980.[3] The company is solely owned by the Ministry of Information, Youths and Culture of the Kano State government.[2] In October 2012 the state government closed down the Company for alleged unviability.[5] The closure was later found to have political undertones.[3]
The present government re-opened it[6] and included in the 2018 budget and a pledge to acquire a modern digital printing machine for the company.[7]
