Nigeria's Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji
Lai Mohammed, has announced that the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has
kicked off the implementation of the broadcast industry reforms.
The implementation of the reforms, which are aimed at
further strengthening the NBC's regulatory role was approved by President
Muhammadu Buhari.
The Minister made the announcement in Lagos last week
Friday at a meeting with the Filmic Group, a platform exclusively for creative
industry practitioners, comprising of movie producers, content producers and
directors, among others.
Alhaji Mohammed said that the process for the
amendment of the NBC Act had begun and that an Executive Bill would be sent to
the National Assembly for legislative action.
In his remarks, a prolific movie producer and one of
the leaders of the Filmic Group, Mr Mahmoud Alli-Balogun, thanked the Minister
for implementing policies aimed at improving the creative industry and
unlocking its potential for employment generation and wealth creation.
The NBC Reforms Implementation Committee handed its
report over to the Minister on November 19, 2019, with recommendations aimed at
reinforcing the regulatory role of the Commission and unlocking the creative
talents of Nigerians by ending monopoly and anti-competition in the broadcast
industry.
