Abstract

The deregulation of the broadcast sector in Nigeria actually began in 1992 with the establishment of the NBC act 38 of 1992 and 55 of 1999 as amended. This breakthrough was a fundamental consequence of the national mass media policy, which was inaugurated to project a new national mass media direction for the country by the Ibrahim Babangida administration. Dopkesi (1997) recounts that he national communication policy (1990) gave official bite for the deregulation of broadcasting in Nigeria. The national mass communication policy saw the need for a regulatory agency to monitor, coordinate and regulate the entire broadcast industry in Nigeria, while midwifing the democratization and deregulation of Nigeria broadcasting.
