Public Broadcasting in Africa Series: Nigeria
AfriMAP & OSIWA
01 February 2011
This report on the broadcast media in Nigeria finds that liberalisation efforts in the broadcasting sector have only been partially achieved. More than a decade after military rule, the nation still has not managed to enact media legislation that is in line with continental standards, particularly the Declaration on Freedom of Expression in Africa. The report, part of an 11-country survey of broadcast media in Africa, strongly recommends the transformation of the two state broadcasters into a genuine public broadcaster as an independent legal entity with editorial independence and strong safeguards against any interference from the federal government, state governments and other interests. The report was written by Mr. Akin Akingbulu Executive Director, Institute for Media and Society, IMS, Nigeria.

This report was written by and represents the views of Prof L Adele Jinadu. He analyses the extent to which the Nigerian process of self-assessment for the APRM respected the criteria of effectiveness and credibility defined by the APRM founding documents, in particular to the extent to which it was open, participatory, transparent and accountable. Based on interviews with many of the participants, the report reviews the strengths and weaknesses of the process. The report attempts an evaluation of Nigeria's APR process, and the extent to which the preparation of Nigeria's self-assessment report really lived up to the requirements of participation and inclusiveness established by the official guidelines for countries submitting to peer review.
