Nigeria's media scene is one of the most vibrant in Africa


Nigeria's media scene is one of the most vibrant in Africa. State radio and TV have near-national coverage and operate at federal and regional levels. All 36 states run their own radios, and most of them operate TV stations.

Radio is a key source of information. International broadcasters, including the BBC, are popular. However, rebroadcasts of foreign radios are banned.

Moreover, legislation requires that locally-made material must comprise 60% of output. Viewing is concentrated in urban areas... BBC

...not bad, eehn?
