THE EFFECTS OF PRIVATIZATION OF THE ELECTRONIC MEDIA IN NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
The issue of elections media privatization has been in constant debate in Nigeria.
However, the last military Administration of president IBRAHIM Babangida took the bull by it’s horns when in 1992, the decree on privatization of media was promulgated.
It is to state the obvious, that privatization of electronic media will give room for competition leading to efficiency which has an over-all effect on improved content and quality of broadcast as presently witnessed in the young private television station at Obasi in Anambra state.
No doubt, the Nigeria economic standard has reached to the state where it must have alternative television and radio to build and maintain healthy growth and expansion of the enterprise.
This study is aimed at finding out the effects of privatization of electronic media i.e. Radio and Television, through library research method and direct interview survey method, targeting experts in Mass Communication, political scientists, practicing journalists, undergraduate, students of mass communication etc.
Considering the present economic state of the nation. These and more will remain the core of my study in this treatise. I will like to know the effect media on government owned and controlled media and the reactions of the experts, political scientists, practicing journalists and other enlightened audience on this new development.
Despite the various reasons advanced by monopolization of the apologists, the pressure for private participation and ownership of electronic broadcast media persisted and is now upheld.

CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
It is a common belief that mass media play unquantifiable roles in matters of public interests, public opinion and formation of attitude.
According to a study carried out in 1969 by Simpson Etal, on the “effectiveness of the mass media and other channels of communication in Lagos; they found that “radio proved to be the most effective means of communication information to the people living in Lagos, and that radio is significantly listened to by both the rich and the poor alike in Lagos, Nigeria.”
Many people have equally written to bare their minds on the media of electronic media in Nigeria.
In the light of these therefore, the effects of privatization of electronic media in Nigeria, should not be either over or under stressed. This is because, the privatization of the broadcast media no doubt have far reaching effects on both the people, and those engaged in the operation including the government.
Some of these effects are positive while some are negative. However, before discussing these effects, let us stress here that in any country where the media ownership and control are vested on either the government or group of individuals, the media tend to act as megaphones for these in control, instead of performing their primary functions of informing, educating and entertaining the masses. This situation has been the bare of most countries of the world, particularly, in the developing nations such as Nigeria.
In spite of the above assertion, the Nigerian government over the years has exclusively stuck to the ownership and control of the broadcast media; advancing some reasons for their action, chiefly among which are “national unity”, internal security and need for developmental journalism in the country.
Whatever, the public spirited efforts and mounting pressure by the exports and wealthy individual entrepreneurs (informed by the need for industrialization and commercialization of the media). Over the years on the authorities for wider dissemination of information, the federal government yielded to this noble idea and in 1992, under then military administration of president Ibrehim Badamosi Babangida, a decree was promulgated empowering private participation in the electronic media: radio and television precisely.
