Over 100 chief executive officers of broadcast media houses across Nigeria are expected in Calabar, the Cross River State capital this Thursday to review challenges confronting the broadcast industry and proffer solutions.
The meeting to be hosted by the Cross River State Government, will be declared open by the Governor, Bassey Edet Otu, at the Conference Hall of Hogis Royale Hotel, State Housing Estate, Calabar.
The Executive Secretary of the Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria, Dr. Yemisi Bamgbose, says the meeting will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to deliberate on issues affecting the industry, while the Chairman of BON, Tony Akiotu, will preside over the meeting.
Top on the agenda are multiple taxation imposed on private broadcast stations and dwindling funding for government-owned radio and television stations.
