The leadership of the Broadcasting Organisations Of Nigeria (BON) has appealed to the Federal Government to ease the business of broadcasting in Nigeria.
It made the call on Tuesday at a meeting with the Minister of Information and Culture and the Director General of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) were issues regarding the licences regime and how to actualise the Federal Government’s digital switchover were discussed.
BON Chairman, Mr John Momoh, told journalists after the meeting, held behind closed doors, that the challenges faced by broadcasters in the country were top on the agenda.
“I sought the audience of the minister so that we can let them know that there was a lot of haemorrhaging in the industry and that a lot of our members are finding it very difficult to operate,” he said.
Beyond the concerns that broadcasters had, the BON leadership cleared some of the misconceptions about the digital switchover at the meeting.
