NBC raises N34bn to drive digital migration ahead 2017 deadline
As Nigeria strives to meet the new deadline of transiting to digital terrestrial broadcasting by June 20, 2017, having suffered some setbacks as a result of funding, the country has raised N34 billion from sales of assets and licensing, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) said in Lagos, Wednesday.
Consequently, the Commission has successfully licensed MTN Nigeria to use a part of the 700MHz to provide digital pay-TV broadcasting services, even as the pilot launch is slated for the first week in November 2015, in Jos, Plateau State.
