The Nigerian Television Authority, (NTA) is the National Television Network, for the people of Nigeria. It’s key function is to provide independent and impartial television broadcasting for general reception in the interest of Nigeria. No other television station in Nigeria is charged with the same social responsibility of public interest broadcasting. Accordingly, the NTA seeks to serve as a tool for national integration.
With only ten stations at it’s inception in 1977, the NTA has grown rapidly from 30 stations in 1999 to 101, following the decision by the Federal Government of Nigeria to further expand television services in the year 2002 for wider reception, especially to the rural areas. With his development, NTA can be said to be the largest network in Africa.
