NBC Policy Defiance Hindering Nigeria's Digital Switchover, Claims Manufacturer Association Chair
Godfrey Ohabunwa, Chairman of the Association of Licensed Set-top Box Manufacturers of Nigeria, has voiced strong criticism against the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), attributing Nigeria's 17-year delay in achieving digital switchover to policy inconsistencies and regulatory deviations. Ohabunwa highlighted that the NBC's failure to adhere to the government-approved white paper and its reluctance to switch off analogue transmissions are major roadblocks to the programme's success.
