The Federal Government has described the Digital Switchover (DSO) as a strategic investment in national digital infrastructure to expand access to information, education and economic opportunities.
The Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijani, said this on Wednesday during the National Launch of the DSO project under the ‘Big picture initiative’ in Abuja.
The DSO project, managed by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), is Nigeria’s nationwide transition from analogue to digital terrestrial television broadcasting.
The project aims to improve broadcast quality, boost the digital economy, and free up spectrum for broadband.
Tijani said the launch of DSO was more than a broadcasting milestone, stressing that its significances lay in what it meant for ordinary Nigerians.
