A new industry report shows that Nigeria’s entertainment sector has experienced a significant rise in streaming revenue over the past year.
Music platforms, online cinemas, and podcast networks all recorded growth due to increased smartphone usage and better internet access.

Artists say digital platforms have allowed them to reach global audiences and earn income without relying solely on physical shows.
Film producers also noted that online premieres have made it easier to share their work and reduce piracy.

Despite the growth, industry experts highlighted challenges such as inconsistent internet speed and high data costs.
Investments in digital infrastructure, they say, will help Nigeria become one of Africa’s biggest entertainment exporters.
