Background of the Study
In the event that a country experiences an outbreak of disease, it is the responsibility of the government, through the Ministry of Health, to rise to the challenges by allocating a significant amount of money and establishing facilities to combat the virus. In addition, it is the responsibility of non-governmental organizations and other national and international health organizations to cooperate with the government in this effort. As a result, the outbreak of Corona virus diseases (COVID-19) required the same procedure of creating awareness, which is why organizations are required to by necessity create awareness through mass media and other communication forms by sensitizing the public on the causes, signs and symptoms of the disease, and preventive and protective measures against the disease (Obot, 2021).
The breakout of the Corona virus COVID-19 has, without a doubt, caught the rest of the globe off guard and caught them unprepared; as a result, the countries that have been affected have had to endure debilitating death crises as well as economic collapse, etc (Obot, 2021). In Nigeria, the presence of the deadly virus known as corona virus, COVID-19, was confirmed officially on the 27th of February 2020 after a virology laboratory was came out at the Lagos university teaching Hospital on the suspected Italian man who arrived in Nigeria from Milan on February 24, 2020 on the Turkish Airline. The man was carrying the virus when he traveled from Milan to Nigeria on the Turkish Airline (Odunlami, & Busayo, 2021).
Any subject can have its own awareness program, and those programs simply consist of providing extensive information on the issue at hand. Television is one of the most important mediums for disseminating information to the general public, and the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) is one of the many channels that is charged with the legal obligation of doing so via television. There are a great number of NTA branches and sub stations located all across the country. Television is an effective medium for communicating information, thoughts, and ideas to audiences of all sizes, from the very broad to the very particular. It is an essential contributor to the overall improvement of public health.
Goals
The Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) has, over the course of many years, demonstrated outstanding performance in the areas of information distribution, education of the population, and advocacy roles, particularly in significant moments and events (Osabuohien & Amienyi 2021).. This performance has been particularly noteworthy. It is predicted that all television stations would produce jingles, advertisements, and programming that will educate the general public on how to protect themselves against the Corona virus and how to prevent becoming infected with it (Obot, 2021).
