Stakeholder

As part of our efforts to address the challenges facing Nigeria’s broadcasting industry, and in line with the fifth pillar of our five-point agenda at @FMINONigeria, I have directed: 1. @nbcgovng to suspend any planned increase in broadcast licence fees until further notice. 2. The NBC Director-General to expedite the review of the National Broadcasting Code, so that the regulatory framework keeps pace with developments in the industry. 3. The Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria (ARCON) to fully implement and enforce the 45-day payment policy for advertising services, as requested by the Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria (BON). We will continue to engage stakeholders in the broadcast industry to improve access to affordable financing and resolve outstanding spectrum allocation concerns. Our pledge is to leave Nigeria’s broadcasting industry better than we found it, and we will not relent.
