Nigeria Successfully Transitions to Digital Broadcasting

Nigeria has officially transitioned to digital broadcasting as of June 17, 2026. This achievement follows a series of previous attempts to modernize the nation's broadcasting landscape that did not succeed.

The milestone has triggered a wave of industry discussions and consultations among various stakeholders. These conversations are focused on the shift in technology and its implications for the sector.

In response to the transition, the government has pledged to develop digital infrastructure. These commitments include a specific focus on addressing cybersecurity concerns associated with the new system.
