Nigerians have expressed dissatisfaction with the video and sound quality of the first Presidential Media Chat featuring President Bola Tinubu, aired on Monday by the Nigerian Television Authority.
Ahead of the broadcast, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, had announced in a statement that “all television and radio stations are requested to hook up to the broadcast.”
However, viewers noted that the broadcast on NTA suffered from grainy visuals and muffled audio, with some channels linked to the station also reflecting these issues.
Taking to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, they voiced their concerns.
David Offor, tweeting as @DavidsOffor, wrote, “In 2025, NTA needs to improve in sound and visual qualities!! This is the national TV of the largest black nation in the world o 😉”
#AsiwajuOladimeji, using the username @AsiwajuOladimej, said: “Privatize NTA. Enough is Enough!”
Tosin.X, tweeting as @Dontee_, commented: “TVC obviously recorded the interview with their own camera. This is better than the nonsense NTA is showing. Please switch your TV or YouTube to TVC guys”
Ridwan Oke, using the handle @Ridwanullahii, added: “Only TVC has a good recording of the Presidential Media Chat. We thought NTA was back. Mtcheew”
Man of Letters, tweeting as @Letter_to_Jack, declared: “NTA is a disgrace to this country. They should be scrapped”
DANIEL, using the username @DanielWhalee, wrote: “What did NTA digitise abeg? With this poster coloured pictures and transistor radio sound.”
Ọlá, tweeting as @mrolaoluwa, noted: “NTA isn’t even broadcasting in 1080p.”
“It’s better on TVC. Everybody at NTA should be fired!” Abdulbasit Ayomikun Afolabi, using the handle @Baasit_Afolabi, stated.
During the live broadcast, President Tinubu defended his decision to remove the fuel subsidy, saying it was necessary to safeguard the country’s finances and future investments.
“I don’t have any regret in removing the fuel subsidy. We cannot spend our generation investment.
”We have no choice. Otherwise, we are headed for the slippery slope… financial disaster, not just for us but our children,” the President said.
