The National Broadcasting Commission says Nigerians will no longer pay annual Digital Access Fees under the renewed Digital Switch Over (DSO) project.

NBC Director-General, Mr Charles Ebuebu, disclosed this in an exclusive interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Wednesday in Abuja,

Ebuebu said viewers only need to purchase an approved decoder and satellite dish which cost below N20,000 to enjoy free television permanently.

“Previously, users paid an annual digital access fee of about N1,500, described as an administrative charge.

“The new system removes that annual fee. It provides free access to free-to-air television channels without any payment.
