The Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, a civil society organisation , says the National Broadcasting Commission is creating fear in the media space.
The commission said a guest on the television station made “derogatory and incendiary remarks” against the legislative, judiciary, and executive arms of government on October 5 and 6. “The NBC is now creating threats and fear. What this amounts to is that each media will now start censoring, internal censorship and at the end of the day only state views will be heard on television. That is against democracy,” he said.
“The NBC needs to come to terms with the fact that the NBC Act or Code cannot override the provisions of the 1999 constitution,” he said.
