Nigerian Federal Government to introduce content access fees to replace radio licence fees ahead of Nigeria's migration to digital terrestrial television broadcasting by 2015.
Abuja: The Minister of Information, Mr Labaran Maku, made this known at the opening of the Extra Ordinary meeting of the National Council of Information (NCI) in Abuja.

Maku said the planned content access fee, which was currently undergoing final adjustments, was expected to get the nod of the Federal Executive Council before the migration.
