1. Register a company. A business name is ok.

2. Go to the National Library. If you are in Lagos, it is in Yaba. Go there to submit your desired name. You will be called after about 2 weeks to let you know if your name is good to go.

3. Go ahead and print the maiden edition. Vol 1 No 1.

4. Take 3 copies to the National Library with your application for ISSN and your money. It costs less that N10,000. You will be told to come back for your ISSN.

5. Get on with your business. When the ISSN is ready, you can put it on your paper.
