FOCUSED MANIFESTO – SHC TONY AKIOTU FOR BON CHAIRMAN
(Abridged Version)
Dear Colleagues,
Following wide consultations, my vision for BON is anchored on continuity, collaboration, and practical progress. If elected Chairman, I will focus on five achievable priorities that can deliver visible benefits to members:
1️⃣ *Industry Sustainability*
Promote cost-reduction strategies through energy partnerships, infrastructure sharing, and financing support initiatives to help stabilise stations and protect jobs.
2️⃣ *Constructive Digital Transition*
Work closely with the NBC and stakeholders to ensure the digital switchover strengthens broadcasters, protects investments, and expands opportunities for members.
3️⃣ *Skills & Training Modernisation*
Champion practical industry training in digital broadcasting, newsroom convergence, streaming, and emerging technologies to keep BON members competitive.
4️⃣ *Content Collaboration*
Encourage voluntary cooperation among members through shared coverage opportunities, joint productions, and knowledge exchange to reduce costs and widen reach.
5️⃣ *BON National Development Lecture Series*
Introduce a respected BON platform for dialogue on national development, positioning our association as a thought leader in shaping Nigeria’s future.
My commitment is simple: focused leadership, achievable goals, and measurable progress.
Together, we can strengthen BON and secure a resilient future for Nigerian broadcasting.
SHC Tony Anegbe Akiotu
