>basicity/aciditypiridine is a weak base, usually weaker than normal because its aromatic, but the nitro group delocalizing electrons could make it more acidic
I think it would be sensible to add HBr, followed by NH3, based on the resonant structure of the molecule, but i have a lot of doubts, and google told me i could simply react that with NaNH2 in order to achieve the same result, but it seems like cheating, because its not a nucleophilic substitution or it doesnt appear to be one at least.
