“The metrics and data you will be putting together, the Standards of Practice on receipts and payments, the media monitoring service powered by technology for real time performance evaluation will create transparency and an enabling environment for all to thrive and be prosperous.

“I hear you are also working on a sustainable content development plan to ensure a win-win for Content Creators, Production companies and TV and Radio Broadcasters.

“This is music to my ears and is exactly what Mr President promised when we came into government – Reforms that will touch and improve the lives of the common Nigerian man,’’ he said.

The minister said that the reform process would also unlock the one million job opportunities in the potential of the creative industry.

He assured that the government would assist with required regulations and open the doors for funding donors to make the reform a success.

According to Mohammed, the government will create conducive business environment for all the international advertisers and agencies to rush to do business in the country.

The Chairman of the Task Team, Mr Tolu Ogunkoya thanked the minister for his vision and passion for the industry and for his presence at the technical session.

He assured that the committee would work hard to meet the November target for the completion of the exercise.
