THE National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has opted to neutralise signals of Radio Biafra, as the station continues its broadcasts after the commission claimed it had successfully jammed its signals.

Director-General of the commission, Emeka Mba, spoke at the first annual lecture organised by the commission in Abuja, in commemoration of its 23rd anniversary with the theme: “New Media Convergence and the Future of Broadcasting: Greedy Telcos, Naive Broadcasters and the Scramble for Spectrum.”

He denied that the commission gave the station a licence of operation.

“We didn’t give them a licence. What we are doing is to continue our own investigations. We will do what we call neutralising the signals which is currently ongoing,” he said.

The director-general vowed that those behind the operation of the illegal station would be arrested and prosecuted.

“My understanding is that they have resumed. But I don’t want to speak about this because it gives them more and more publicity.

“All I can tell you is that government may act slow, but all the people involved will all be arrested and prosecuted,” he said.

At the event, stakeholders blamed the immediate past administration for NBC’s failure to meet the July transition deadline.

Yemisi Bamgbose, chairman of Radio, Television and Theatre Arts Workers Union (RATTAWU), expressed fears that the 2017 deadline agreed by ECOWAS countries would be mirage for Nigeria if NBC was not properly funded.

“There is no way any country can achieve migration from analogue to digital broadcasting without adequate funding of the organisation that would mid-wife it,” he said.

Chairman of the Federal Government digital team that worked towards achieving the migration, Mr Eddy Amana, confirmed that the team did not get the necessary funding to achieve the migration.

“We didn’t get the support and necessary funding then,” he said

if the NBC will take my advice, i will say they should just ignore that fraudster that called himself kalu... Every hate messages have limit. We all saw how hate messages by pdp during the last election consumed them.

Kalu"s people will be the first people that will start to dislike him when they start to get tired of all his mouth action and radio war. You cant be telling a group of people that you will do this or that for them for so many years without anything to show for it.

Just yesterday banki moon was in nigeria, one would have expected kalu and his biafra secessionists to take their agonies and plights to him, but we didnt see that.

Who is kalu deceiving?

I wonder how some people will just be so foolish and gullible to hear what this kalu says' A man that sits enjoying wherever he is and come on air at his own time to spew rubbish... Upon all the things happening in this country is it to part away the best available option ... Ask an average Ebiafran' why he or she want biafra to go, he won't say anything reasonable. Am sure even your late warlord will even run in his grave if asked to fight for biafra again... Less I forget ojukwu lost d election in 2003, not even the vote of his Biafrans could make him win , some even refused to vote for him ... Please any true biafran should please check online or even read a book by chinuia abchebe 'there was a country' and ask yourself if truly u want another war, NoTE: a country like nigeria would never allow any part secede through paper work. NEVER... # saynoto sycophant seeking attentions
