Buhari Set To Merge FRCN, NTA and VoN Into Federal Broadcasting Corporation of Nigeria (FBCN)

The incoming Muhammadu Buhari government of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will tinker with the current status of some agencies in the country.

"There is no money. Cost saving has become imperative if the APC must fulfill its obligation to the Nigerian people", an APC economic strategist reportedly said.

The Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), Nigeria's publicly owned broadcast organization will be merged with the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) and Voice of Nigeria (VON), IT Edge news reports.

All separate entities will be fused into the Federal Broadcasting Corporation of Nigeria (FBCN) as recommended more than three years ago by the Steve Oronsanye Presidential Committee on the Rationalisation and Restructuring of Federal Government Parastatals, Commissions and Agencies.
