Dear shareholder
Photographic image of Richard Franke, Chairman of Nuveen.
"Over time, municipal bonds have proven to be a valuable and dependable 
component of successful invest ment programs."

The past 12 months provided a welcome rebound for investors in municipal
bonds, reversing the declines of a year earlier. As long-term interest rates
fell in the last half of 1995, the Nuveen funds continued to provide
attractive levels of dividend income.
   Currently, we are experiencing a certain degree of uncertainty in the 
markets, as the economy continues to send mixed signals about the pace of 
growth and the potential for increased inflation. Although there is no solid 
evidence that inflation will reappear, the mere specter has been enough to
keep some investors on the sidelines. The good news is that the Federal 
Reserve remains committed to a policy of low inflation and modest economic 
growth, which should bode well for the bond markets and bond investors. 
   During the first part of 1996, investors found opportunities to purchase
higher yielding bonds with strong credit quality. Tax-free securities--and 
the taxable-equivalent yields they offer--are bringing investors back to the
bond market. Diminished concerns about a flat tax and other tax reform
proposals that had potential implications for tax-free investments have also
bolstered interest in municipal bonds and bond funds.
   Municipal bond funds continue to be a prudent way to invest for the long
term, offering investors quality and an attractive source of tax-free income.
As of April 30, 1996, the current annual yields on share price for the
Municipal Value and Municipal Income funds were 6.34% and 6.55%, respectively.
To match these yields, an investor in the 36% federal income tax bracket would
have had to earn at least 9.91% on taxable alternatives. Without question,
taxable yields at this level on investments of comparable quality can be
difficult to achieve in today's markets.
<PAGE>
  With the strength of the bond market last year, these funds enjoyed
continued attractive total returns. The 12-month total returns on net asset
value for the Municipal Value and Municipal Income funds were 6.37% and 6.75%,
equivalent to taxable investments returning 9.98% and 10.50%, respectively.
  As you may know, on June 30, 1996, I will be retiring as chairman and chief
executive officer of John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated and as chairman of the
board of the Nuveen exchange-traded funds. As I look back over the 41 years I
have spent at Nuveen, I'm proud to have been associated with a firm that holds
integrity, honesty, and value as the cornerstones of its business. I'm
confident that these traditions will continue to be the hallmarks of Nuveen.
  Over the past few years, I have been working closely with other Nuveen
managers to ensure that the company and the funds continue to be guided by
strong and talented management. Timothy R. Schwertfeger, who has been with
Nuveen since 1977, will succeed me as chief executive officer and chairman of
Nuveen. He currently serves as executive vice president of Nuveen and
president of the board of directors for the Nuveen exchange-traded funds. I am
very confident in his abilities and those of the entire Nuveen management
team.
  The management transition has been well planned, and it will have no effect
on portfolio management or the way dividends are set.
  Our focus will continue to be on building shareholder value, providing
research-oriented management, and maintaining our leadership role in the
municipal bond market. With this focus, we anticipate many more years of
progress and accomplishment for our shareholders and our firm.
  As this will be the last letter for these funds in which I have the
opportunity to address you, I'd like to take this occasion to thank you for
selecting Nuveen exchange-traded funds. We appreciate your investment in
Nuveen, and we look forward to reports of continued success in the months
ahead.

Sincerely,

Richard J. Franke
Chairman of the Board

Answering your questions

Tom Spalding, head of Nuveen's portfolio management team, discusses investment
performance and recent factors affecting the municipal market.

What are the best measures of fund performance?
There are many ways to gauge fund performance, each of which provides certain
insights. Total return is generally recognized as one comprehensive measure of
performance. We use the term "total return" to refer to a share's appreciation
plus reinvested dividend income and capital gain distributions, if applicable.
In 1994, total returns for municipal bond funds--and the entire bond
market--declined, in one of the most difficult periods for bonds in decades.
This was immediately followed by 1995's exceptional market recovery, which
resulted in a rebound in total returns. During the first part of 1996,
municipal bond funds have continued to provide solid total returns, although
at a slightly lower level than during 1995's bull market. The events of these
past few years illustrate the importance of considering risk, or variability
of returns, when comparing total returns. Nuveen's prudent approach to
management protected investors from wide swings in performance by maintaining
a higher level of value than its peer group during 1994's bear market and
participating only slightly less in 1995's recovery.

  Another important measure of fund performance involves assessing whether a
fund has met its stated investment goals. At Nuveen, we continue to emphasize
our funds' goals of providing dependable tax-free dividends and adhering to a
value investing approach. In this regard, the steadiness of dividends over the
long term is a good practical measure of success.

head of Nuveen's portfolio management team, answers investors' questions on 
developments in the municipal market.

Some funds' discounts seem to have narrowed over the past few months. What
caused this improvement?
To understand the reasons for this improvement, it may be helpful to remember
that each share has two prices: the net asset value (NAV), which represents
the underlying value of the bonds, and the share price, which is the fund's
price on the stock exchange. As with other securities, share prices for
municipal bond funds change frequently, driven by investors' demand for
shares. When a share's NAV is higher than its share price, we say that the
shares can be purchased at a discount.
  In 1995, the recovery of the bond market meant that the net asset values for
some funds appreciated more quickly than their share prices, widening
discounts for a while. This is not unusual, as the market often takes time to
recognize underlying value balanced against the various factors that affect
investor decisions, such as sentiment regarding future interest rates,
inflation forecasts, the relative strength of the stock market, and
legislative and tax outlooks. Over the past few months, investor worries about
tax reform--and the potential effect of a flat tax proposal on tax-free
investments--have waned somewhat. The combination of higher yields, concerns
about the vulnerability of the stock market, and broker recommendations has
prompted a greater demand for municipal bonds and bond funds. With increased
demand, share prices have risen, resulting in narrower discounts. In fact,
some exchange-traded funds are now trading at a premium, that is, their share
prices are higher than their NAVs.

What caused the dividends of some funds to decline recently?
A spate of bond calls over the past year, and the more conservative nature of
unleveraged funds such as the Municipal Value and Municipal Income funds, have
both contributed to a recent decline in dividend levels.
  As the Federal Reserve Board made a succession of rate cuts between July
1995 and January 1996, long-term municipal bond yields reacted by declining
almost 130 basis points from their position at the beginning of 1995. This
lower long-term rate environment brought about the call, or early redemption,
of many bonds with higher yields. These older bonds have been replaced with
the bonds available in the market today, most of which have lower yields.
  It is also important to remember that unleveraged funds such as those
covered in this report are managed more conservatively than leveraged funds
and, thus, are more stable in their ability to ride out the ups and downs of
the market. While these funds may not have appreciated as much as leveraged
funds during the bond market rally of 1995, they generally did not decline as
much during the down market of 1994.
<PAGE>
What has been Nuveen's investment approach during this period?
Because we believe that a value approach offers investors greater price
stability in uncertain markets, Nuveen continues to pursue value investing as
the optimal way to meet our investors' objectives. We define value investing
as a disciplined approach to security selection and portfolio construction
designed to deliver above-market performance by identifying individual bonds
with current yields, prices, credit quality, and future prospects that are
exceptionally attractive in relation to other bonds in the market. This
approach was rewarded over the past year, as we saw many of our portfolio
holdings upgraded by the national rating agencies, indicating that our
Research Department's judgments about credit quality were on target.
  As interest rates declined, we moved to protect current income by investing
a larger percentage of our portfolios in non-callable bonds. These bonds
cannot be redeemed before maturity, so their yield is assured for the long
term even if interest rates continue to decline. As another measure of income
protection, we also purchased an increased number of bonds at discounts from
their par value. Because these bonds are yielding slightly below market levels
due to their current coupon, they are less likely to be called from our
portfolios, assuring more stable yields for our investors.

Dividends of NUV have been consistently at an attractive level despite modest
reductions in July and February, reflecting the effects of bond calls. 
Shareholders also received a capital gains distribution in December.

Commonly used terms
Yield
An exchange-traded fund's annualized monthly dividend on a given date (in the
case of this report, April 30, 1996) divided by its closing price per share on
that date.

Taxable equivalent yield
The return an investor subject to a given federal income tax rate would need
to obtain from a fully taxable investment to equal the fund's stated
annualized yield on share price. In this report, this tax rate is assumed to
be 36% for shareholders, based on incomes of $121,300-$263,750 for investors
filing singly, and $147,700-$263,750 for those filing jointly.

Net Asset Value (NAV)
The market value of all securities and other assets held by an exchange-traded
fund, minus any liabili ties. The NAV per share is the fund's net assets,
divided by its total number of common shares outstanding.

Total return on NAV
The percentage change in a fund's NAV per common share for a given period,
assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if
any.

Taxable equivalent total return
The total return an investor subject to a given federal income tax rate would
need to obtain from a fully taxable investment to equal the Fund's stated
total return on NAV.

Each Fund intends to repurchase shares of its own stock in the future at such
times and in such amounts as is deemed advisable. No shares were repurchased
during the six months ended April 30, 1996. Any future repurchases will be
reported to shareholders in the next annual or semiannual report.

* Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices of the earliest 
optional call or redemption. There may be other call provisions at varying
prices at later dates.
** Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's or Moody's rating.
Con. Rating is conditional. Bonds for which the security depends upon the
completion of some act or the fulfillment of some condition are rated
conditionally. These are bonds secured by (a) earnings by projects under
construction, (b) earnings of projects unseasoned in operation experience, (c)
rentals which begin when facilities are completed, or (d) payments to which
some other limiting condition attaches. Parenthetical rating denotes probable
credit stature upon completion of construction or elimination of basis of
condition. 
N/R - Investment is not rated. 
+ The security has a maturity of more than one year, but has variable rate and
demand features which qualify it as a short-term security. The rate disclosed
is that currently in effect. This rate changes periodically based on market
conditions or a specified market index.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
At April 30, 1996, the National Funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and
their corresponding New York Stock Exchange symbols are Nuveen Municipal Value
Fund, Inc. (NUV) and Nuveen Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (NMI).

The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as
closed-end, diversified management investment companies.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Securities Valuation
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are
valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices or the yield
equivalent. Portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily
available are valued at fair value by consistent application of methods
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Temporary investments in
securities that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as
short-term securities are traded and valued at amortized cost.

Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from such transactions are determined on the specific identification
method. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery
basis may be settled a month or more after the transaction date. The
securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period.
The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets in a separate
account with a current value at least equal to the amount of their purchase
commitments. At April 30, 1996, there were no such purchase commitments in
either of the Funds.

Interest Income
Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on long-term debt
securities when required for federal income tax purposes.
<PAGE>
Federal Income Taxes
The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies by distributing to shareholders
all of the Funds' tax-exempt net investment income, in addition to any
significant amounts of net realized capital gains from investments and/or
market discount realized upon the sale of the securities. The Funds currently
consider significant net realized capital gains and/or market discount as
amounts in excess of $.001 per share. Furthermore, each Fund intends to
satisfy conditions which will enable interest from municipal securities, which
is exempt from regular federal income tax, to retain such tax-exempt status
when distributed to shareholders of the Funds.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Net investment income is declared as a dividend monthly and payment is made or
reinvestment is credited to shareholder accounts after month-end. Net realized
capital gains from securities transactions are distributed to shareholders not
less frequently than annually only to the extent they exceed available capital
loss carryovers.

Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized
capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of
such distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax
regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Accordingly, temporary over-distributions as a result of these differences may
result and will be classified as either distributions in excess of net
investment income or distributions in excess of net realized gains, if
applicable.

Derivative Financial Instruments
In October 1994, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 119 Disclosure about
Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments which
prescribes disclosure requirements for transactions in certain derivative
financial instruments including future, forward, swap, and option contracts,
and other financial instruments with similar characteristics. Although the
Funds are authorized to invest in such financial instruments, and may do so in
the future, they did not make any such investments during the six months ended
April 30, 1996.

At April 30, 1996, the identified cost of investments owned for federal income
tax purposes was the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes for
each Fund.

At October 31, 1995, NMI's last fiscal year end, the Fund had an unused
capital loss carryover of $184,075 available for federal income tax purposes
to be applied against future capital gains, if any. If not applied, the
carryover will expire in the year 2001.

In addition, NUV pays to the Adviser an annual management fee, payable
monthly, based on gross interest income as follows:
<CAPTION>
GROSS INTEREST INCOME                                         NUV
<S>                                                         <C>
For the first $50,000,000                                   4.125%
For the next $50,000,000                                    4.000
For gross income over $100,000,000                          3.875

The fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and
administrative services and general office facilities. The Funds pay no
compensation directly to those directors who are affiliated with the Adviser
or to their officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to
the Funds from the Adviser.

8. INVESTMENT COMPOSITION
Each Fund invests in municipal securities which include general obligation,
escrowed and revenue bonds. At April 30, 1996, the revenue sources by
municipal purpose for these investments, expressed as a percent of total
investments, were as follows:

Certain long-term and intermediate-term investments owned by the Funds are
either covered by insurance issued by several private insurers or are backed
by an escrow or trust containing U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency
securities, both of which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest
in the event of default (42% for NUV and 26% for NMI). Such insurance or
escrow, however, does not guarantee the market value of the municipal
securities or the value of either of the Funds' shares.

All temporary investments in short-term municipal securities have credit
enhancements (letters of credit, guarantees or insurance) issued by third
party domestic or foreign banks or other institutions.

For additional information regarding each investment security, refer to the
Portfolio of Investments of each Fund.

9. OTHER MATTERS
In connection with NUV's 1993 Rights Offering, certain legal actions have been
filed by Fund shareholders in federal district court in Chicago against (1)
John Nuveen & Co. Incorporated, Nuveen Advisory Corp., and the directors of
the Fund, alleging that the defendants violated federal and state laws and the
Fund's articles of incorporation in connection with the Rights Offering and
(2) the Fund's former outside legal counsel and in-house counsel to John
Nuveen & Co. Incorporated alleging, among other things, negligence and
professional malpractice. A similar legal action filed by a Fund shareholder
in state court in Minnesota against the above defendants (excluding the Fund's
former outside counsel) which makes similar allegations has been dismissed;
such dismissal has been appealed. Certain of the claims in these actions are
asserted on behalf of the Fund shareholders and certain are asserted on behalf
of the Fund. The defendants have denied the allegations and are defending the
suits which seek unspecified damages. The Court in the Chicago case recently
denied in large part various motions to dismiss. The Fund's Board of Directors
has created a Committee, comprised of outside directors who are not defendants
in the suits, to investigate the claims being pursued in the Fund's name. The
Committee has completed its investigation. Based on the Committee's
investigation, the Fund, in May, 1996, filed a motion to be substituted as the
actual plaintiff and to terminate the litigation, except as to certain claims
against the Fund's adviser and outside counsel. The motion is currently
pending before the Court. While there can be no assurance as to the outcome of
these suits, based on their current status, Fund management believes that they
will not have a material adverse effect on the Fund.
