They should just scrap NTA and allow private broadcast networks take over.

There's never gonna be any attractive content on NTA as long as those old dinosaurs remain in charge of content production.

It's not enough to go digital, original and innovative content matters.

All those stupid programs on NTA ain't gonna look any better in 4k digital, hell it'll look worse when you start seeing nose hairs and pimples with the same shitty writing, bad lighting, terrible backdrops, choppy editing, messed up audio, and general bad presentation.

It's quite a shame on you to be among the people who affirms a belief that social media might have come too early to Nigeria.
Everyone child wants to comment even on matters they are totally ignorant about. What do you know about TV stations both analogue and digital? I mean can you even afford a TV set?

Did you and the 'first to comment crew' even try to read the report to the end? No. You just read "$500m" and then your adrenaline pushes you type whatever...

No doubt, the proposed social media regulation would have helped a lot.

Go to Quora or other educative websites and you'd see it will cost about $850m to setup a TV station. But you didn't even read the part where Lai said....

... the loan was aimed at establishing the media and culture industry centre at the cost of $245m, digitise all NTA stations at $11m and construct integrated television services to infuse on network, .......

Instead you were bent on making bold every letter you need to expose your ignorance.

Pls what is "the media and culture industry centre"? What is its purpose?

According to u:

"Go to Quora or other educative websites and you'd see it will cost about $850m to setup a TV station."

But d NTA has already been set up. Are they going to set up a new TV station?

U said $245m is for d media centre and $11m for digitising d NTA stations. What of d balance $244m?

With network of stations across Nigeria, Nigeria Television Authority should be a self-financing CASHCOW rather than a subvention-dependent sick cow. World class equipment and digitization would do little if the current NTA is not restructured. My suggestions:

- The first step in upgrading our good old NTA is to do a SWOT analysis of the Network and then articulate an business plan and business model, which stakeholders including NASS members should view and assess. Anything less than this means the loan money will be frittered away if approved. So, no PLAN or clear roadmap, no approval.

- Second step is to retain mainstream NTA News channel as public service station linking government to the people but with mandate to staff to be more dynamic rather than conservative.

- Third step is to creating a number of Strategic Business Units (SBUs) out the existing network, which will service soecific market segments as purely PROFIT CENTRES to be run by separate Managements and right staff size of dynamic professionals. Such SBUs all under NTA Board can be sports channel, entertainment and life style channel, live events channel, NTA television college, etc

If JAMB is now a revenue centre, what stops NTA from doing better?

You have sense

Just to digitize NTA wey nobody get interest in

If the used it to build airport and open an airline, that would have economic value, but to digitize a tv station, how would the tv pay back cos its supposed to be able to pay back the loan by itself

Please what is media and culture industry center? Cite an example of one you know. It's even worse. That one is money we can't audit because no one even knows what that means. The integrated service is also vague.

Obviously the money will enter a few pockets and that's all we are going to hear about it.

I thought they digitalized NTA during the tenure of Ben Murray-Bruce?

They want to digitalize it again.

As if that will make it come close to the standard of CNN.

What is the essence of the media and culture industry center.

Useless White elephant project.

Instead, establish an Entertainment academy( in Lagos) .

Set aside endowment fund for talented producers, actors, musicians, comedians and others.


By the way, people like wizkid, Davido etc has made Nigeria proud than your Government.
Recognize them appropriately. ( if there could be SANI Abacha road and stadium in Nigeria despite all his loot.....)
