News reaching us today Friday is the effect that the National Broadcasting Commission has ordered the closure of the African Independent Television, Silverbird Television, and the broadcasting corporations operated by different state governments due to debts amounting to at least N2.6bn. The closure order gave all the affected television and radio stations to halt operations in the next 24 hours.
The news was disclosed to newsmen at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja by the Director-General of the NBC, Balarabe Ilelah.
He said that the stations owed the commission a total of N2.6bn; adding that some of the stations affected have not renewed their licences since 2015.
“This is the first batch, there are those who have not renewed their licence since 2015, 2016, and 2017. We are asking them to come and pay their licence fees,” he said.
He warned that all stations that have not renewed their licences should do so in 30 days to avoid sanction.
Details shortly…
