The Federal government has announced has approved a two-month licence fee waiver for terrestrial broadcast stations in Nigeria.
Also, the Government has set up a 14-man committee of industry stakeholders to look into and advise it on the best way to mitigate the effect of the coronavirus pandemic on the industry.
He said We have therefore decided that instead of addressing these problems piecemeal, we should do so holistically for a more positive outcome. Let me stress here that the Creative Industry is a very critical sector of the nation’s economy and a major plank of the economic diversification policy of this Administration. It creates the highest number of jobs after Agriculture, especially for the youth.
*Advise the Government on any other measure or measures that can be undertaken to support the industry.
