SECTOR 2 ownership also makes it difficult to implement cross-ownership and media concentration rules. The National Broadcasting Commission announced in 2015 that it had commissioned a study to look into issues of competition in the broadcast sector. Lawmakers are also discussing issues of competition across all sectors of the Nigerian economy and it is assumed that the media sector will be addressed.

Publicly-owned media organisations are entitled to either Federal or State subsidies, where applicable. Such subsidies – when disbursed – have shrunk significantly over the years, forcing public media organisations to turn to other revenue sources such as advertising. Nigeria has no clear policy on direct government support to private media. Instead, private broadcasters are required to pay an annual levy equivalent to 2.5 percent of their turnover to the NBC. The sector is characterised by different categories of broadcasters: public, private-commercial, campus and community outlets. The process of licencing campus and community radios is underway, with at least one community radio station already operational. The licensing of campus radio stations has been ongoing since 2002, while that of community radio stations only began in 2015. AFRICAN MEDIA BAROMETER NIGERIA 2015 31
