Nigeria: Don Calls for Deregulation of Broadcast Industry

A university don, Prof. Ralph Akinfeleye, in Abuja advocated the total deregulation of the broadcast industry in Nigeria to allow for media pluralism. Akinfeleye said at a national workshop for senior radio journalists organised by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) and UN Population Fund that "it is through absolute deregulation of the broadcast industry that different shades of opinion can be freely expressed".
