Evaluating Sustainability Strategies: Examining the strategies used to reduce debt and save costs.
Assessing Operational Status: Investigating the reasons behind the station being off the air for an extended period.

Recommending Future Directions: Advising on whether the station should pursue full or partial commercialization for self-sustainability.
The five-man committee is headed by Justice Hamidu Audu, with Liberty Andrew serving as the secretary. The committee has invited the public, staff of the station, and professional unions to submit memoranda to assist in their investigation.
