The Broadcasting Organization of Nigeria (BON) has declared that all television stations in Nigeria will broadcast the 2014 FIFA World Cup scheduled between June 12 to July 13 in Brazil.
The Executive Secretary, BON, Olusegun Olaleye, made the declaration in an interview with NAN in Abuja on Thursday.
“There is nothing like ‘this is a government station’ or this is the particular station selected for the broadcast of the World Cup. Every station has the right. While Optima Sports Management International (OSMI) has the transmission marketing right for the competition in the Nigerian territory, the company has also given BON the right to transmit the World Cup,” he said.
The executive secretary said, with this, all television and radio stations in Nigeria have the right to transmit the competition to the public.
“There is no exclusivity of right. Every station is entitled to transmitting the football World Cup from any part
of the country.”
