Lai Mohammed amended broadcasting code alone, his action is illegal - NBC Board - Edoman - 08-13-2020 Lai Mohammed amended broadcasting code alone, his action is illegal - NBC Board The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) board has accused Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed of amending the country’s broadcasting code alone without due consultation. Ikra Aliyu Bilbis, chairman of National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) board who addressed a press conference in Abuja on Thursday August 13 over the amendments which includes increase of hate speech fine from N500,000 to N5 million and the provision for sub-licensing of all broadcast contents among others, said he received over 50 position papers for the sixth amendment of the code but none of the input was considered. Bilbis said; Quote:“Following the 2019 national elections, some members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) made observations to the Honourable Minister of Information at a FEC meeting about the divisive broadcasts engaged in by some broadcast media before, during and after the elections and the need to strengthen the operations of the NBC to avert such future occurrence. The NBC Board Chairman who insisted that the amendments will destroy investments and lead to job losses, alleged that Lai Mohammed has failed to show the approval of “his own version” by President Muhammadu Buhari. |
