The Governor of Nasarawa, Umaru Al-Makura, has directed the demolished Breeze 99.9 FM to pay fine; after the state government was asked to compensate the station.

“The matter is already concluded; compensation will not be paid over government’s action,” the governor said, in Lafia on Tuesday while he was distributing relief materials to 50 communities hit by various crises, NAN reports.

He said that government had directed the Nasarawa Urban Development Board (NUDB) to fine the radio station for violating approved land laws.

The NUDB demolished the station on May 12, 2017, citing violation of approved laws.

According to commissioner of information, Abdulhamid Kwarra, explained tha the station had to be demolished action in order to protect people living in the neighbourhood against radioactive materials from the station’s mast.

The station has threatened to go to court to challenge the action which it said was a reaction to its insistence on reporting the ongoing workers strike.

In reaction, Al Makura said, “Nasarawa government will not pay any compensation as is being suggested in some quarters. It is the management of Breeze FM that will pay a fine for violating laid down rules.

“You cannot have a radio station where you have a restaurant, a business centre and a prayer centre. It does not happen anywhere,”he said.

“All houses built on wrong sites, which have not adhered to development regulations, will be destroyed whether they be residences, factories or radio stations.

“People must learn to comply and abide by rules and regulations,” he said.

“After the​ notices, their structures will definitely go down the way Breeze FM went.

“So, I want to use this opportunity to call on people to please abide by the rules and regulations.”

na so dem blow Breeze FM breeze....

Note.... B4 u start wailing.... 100th of houses were demolished in Lafia. Not only Breeze FM. Forget d media

Maka why governor

this one get as e be o

The same radio station he the governor commissioned some few months ago he was obsessed with the station when they started airing a program for workers to speak their mind on the strike issue

People should note that doing the inauguration the Government was represented

Majlaw:
Note.... B4 u start wailing.... 100th of houses were demolished in Lafia. Not only Breeze FM. Forget d media

Before you start defending why can't we have the Government stop the construction instead of waiting till completion

freedom of speech lacuna

Which scientific study has told
this govt that radio waves or
signals are radioactive?

Last year, Gov Ortom of Benue state
imposed a fine on all standby generator
operators, saying the monies will be
utilized to "repair the earth's Ozone layer"..

Since when have welfare of citizens
become a pressing concern for these
selfish heartless govs who habitually refuse
to pay their workers for months?

Almakura's actions stinks of political
vendetta borne out of a habitual
predilection for abuse of power.

the little development that is there, he won't allow it to progress after now they will say they are being neglected forgetting what they did to their self

Radio station?


Apparently boko haram members have left sambisa and now occupy government houses

3rd to comment.....woul surely be FTC someday

While you are distributing relief materials on one hand ,you are using the other hand to make some other people jobless .
in saner climes the govt liaise with the company that employs labour by suggesting other readily available land areas they can continue their business. the opposite is the case here and we continue to go round and round yet praying everyday for things to change.
Nigeria ain't got leaders but looters and self centered individuals

In other news the Government was represented during the inauguration

do your research coz i don't have time to explain it to you but he knows what he is saying and you are the clueless one.

He never knew they violated building rules till the station ran a program that criticised his government

First of all before the station was erected and the network pole, signature has being pen down by government officials, why give dem d go ahead to build when u know it not in a good place.


Which kind contrr b dis self

Weeps

Politicians dont obey rules as well

when he commissioned the station he was hoping they would be sentimental in their reportage but instead they chose objectivity and that led to this demolition. I wonder when Nigeria will grow out of this kinda politics or stupidity

What a wicked governor. Just because civil servants complained about non-payment of their salaries he went overboard? Smh

Your comment has isolated you as
a victim of incomplete education.

Radio waves are different from microwaves
which are utilized by cellular phone networks.

Because you saw the term "radioactive",
you think it has to do with radio....... Bushman

its like these northern governors reason like animals. u commissioned a radio station later you came back to demolish it citing radioactive emissions from its mast as reason for demolition. awon oloshi
