  1. An applaudable job sir, you’ve done a fantastic work cos it’s not that easy to compile the list. Please do so for tv stations as at August 2022

  2. This is very helpful, thanks. It’s been mostly useful for the Information Memorandum my company is working on for a start up firm. You could kindly add the different percentage of reach that the television, radio, internet and newspaper have out of the whole audience, i.e Nigeria, also the leading the companies in these industries respectively with their different market share and audience share.

    Thanks.
