Nigeria’s digital migration dream fell flat on its face owing to lack of political willpower and shortage of fund. Despite all the hips and roaring hopes for a possible catch-up on the June 17, 2015 deadline, Africa’s most populous country of some 180 million had to accept that only a new date of December 2017 would appear more realistic.



It’s not cheering news globally, still. Only 48 nations, out of the 119 member countries of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) successfully switched from analogue to digital signal underscoring deep apathy among all ITU member countries that subscribed to the 2006 Geneva agreement but failed to meet the June 17, 2015deadline. Nigeria, like other African countries, is a signatory to the June 17 deadline.
