Nigerian Television Authority (NTA)

The Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) is the national public broadcasting organization of Nigeria and the largest television network in Africa in terms of geographical coverage. Established in 1977 by a decree of the Federal Government of Nigeria, NTA was formed through the merger of regional television stations to create a unified national broadcaster.

Through terrestrial transmission, satellite platforms, and digital broadcasting, NTA reaches millions of viewers within Nigeria and abroad.

International Presence
