Nigeria's market growth is accounted for by regional media expansion, digital content creation and ongoing debates over internet governance. Digital rights legislation has evolved with attempts to regulate online speech through various amendments to existing laws.


In October 2024AREWA24, a Hausa-language television channel, expanded its reach by partnering with Canal+ International, increasing its coverage from four to eight West African countries. The channel continues to produce content addressing social issues such as education and women's rights, aiming to foster social change through entertainment.


Digital transformation has accelerated across traditional media houses, with newspapers such as Punch, ThisDay, and The Guardian strengthening their online presence and implementing various monetisation strategies including paywalls and subscription models.


The streaming revolution has gained momentum, with international platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime competing alongside local services such as IrokoTV and Showmax. Local content production has increased to meet demand for Nigeria-specific programming.


Social media has become a primary news source for many Nigerians, with platforms such as Twitter and WhatsApp serving as significant distribution channels. Media organisations have adapted by creating dedicated social media teams and platform-specific content strategies.
