Former Graphic Communications Group chief Dr. Ken Ashigbey said the current practice of issuing television licences resembles throwing confetti. He argued that granting licences alone does not solve the financial challenges facing the media sector. Ashigbey warned that the industry’s sustainability cannot be restored by licence fees alone. He suggested that deeper structural reforms are needed. His comments came during a public interview about the state of broadcasting. The criticism targets the government’s recent licensing approach.
