The first, second and third quarters attracted advertising values of N5.7 billion, N6.0 billion and N7.3 billion; respectively.

Mr. Tolu Ogunkoya, Managing Director/CEO of mediaReach OMD, said: “Nigeria’s media is one of the most vibrant in Africa. State radio and TV have near-national coverage and operate at federal and regional levels. All 36 states run at least one radio network and a TV station. There are hundreds of radio stations and terrestrial TV networks, as well as cable and direct-to-home satellite offerings.”
According to him, television viewing in Nigeria is concentrated in urban areas. “There are more than 100 national and local press titles, some of them are stateowned. They include wellrespected dailies, tabloids and publications which champion ethnic interests. By 2014, 70.3 million Nigerians were online (Internetworldstats. com). Mobile phones are commonly used to access the web. Most Internet users are young, educated and urban,” he stated.
Ogunkoya noted that Nigeria’s economy is the largest in Africa while its manufacturing sector is the third largest on the continent producing a large proportion of goods and services for the West African sub region.
He said: “The Nigerian environment which is characterised with many investment opportunities seems to be the most attractive for foreign investors because of its liberal economic climate due to the following reasons: The economy has been liberalised for full open market, 100 per cent foreign participation is now allowed in all sectors, Privatisation programmes and industrial development encouraged, and Profit repatriation allowed. All laws that inhibit full functioning of a deregulated, free enterprise and market driven economy were removed from stature books.”
Following the April 2014 statistical “rebasing” exercise, he stated, Nigeria has emerged as Africa’s largest economy, with 2015 GDP estimated at US$1.1 tril-lion.
Ogunkoya said: “Oil has been a dominant source of income and government revenues since the 1970s. Following the 2008-2009 global financial crises, the banking sector was effectively recapitalised and regulation enhanced. Nigeria’s economic growth over the last five years has been driven by growth in agriculture, telecommunications and services.”
He said: “the report gives in-depth coverage of Nigeria and Ghana’s media markets. Media practitioners in the West and Central African regions, and companies making inroads into the markets in these regions would find this publication useful.”
