In recent years, the friendly exchanges between CMG and the two Nigerian organizations have been continuously strengthened. To further consolidate the mainstream media cooperation between China and Nigeria as well as friendship between the two peoples, relevant parties have agreed to carry out practical cooperation in content exchange, joint program production as well as personnel and technical exchanges, expanding channels for cultural exchange and contributing to greater development of bilateral ties.
NTA is Nigeria's official state broadcaster, operating 10 television channels, including general content, news, entertainment and international channels, with coverage across the entire country. FRCN is the national radio broadcaster, with FM stations covering 36 states of Nigeria and regional radio services in six major regional centers.
