Fulani radio to educate herdsmen, fishermen, farmers, hunters — NBC

Published

The National Broadcasting Commission has said the proposed Fulani radio station will broadcast “purely educational,” programmes designed to cater for the interest of itinerant fishermen, herders, hunters and farmers.

It also called on all broadcasting stations to exercise restraint in the treatment of sensitive issues that could threaten the unity and stability of Nigeria.

The commission, in response to criticism of the planned radio station by Federal Government to reach Fulani herdsmen, urged broadcasting stations to be professional and take guidance from the Nigeria Broadcasting Code, at all times.

The NBC, in a statement on Saturday, reminded all broadcasters to be mindful of their social responsibility to promote the well-being and peaceful co-existence of the various groups in Nigeria in keeping with the objectives of broadcasting in Nigeria.

It stated, “The commission is reacting to the media controversy over the license granted to the National Commission for Nomadic Education for the establishment of a radio station to operate on the AM band.

“The National Commission for Nomadic Education duly applied for broadcast license in furtherance of its objectives to develop and maintain nomadic education outreach programmes, including electronically mediated ones.

“The letter of provisional approval dated September 28, 2018, was issued to the National Commission for Nomadic Education. The duration of the license is from October 8, 2018 to October 8, 2023.”

The NBC noted that the station’s programmes, which it describes as “purely educational,” were designed to cater for the interest of migrant fishermen, herders, hunters, farmers, and migrants.

It added, “Consequently, it is a misrepresentation for any person or organisation to imply that the licensed station was just for a particular group.

“The commission wishes to state that similar educational broadcast licences were issued to institutions of higher learning and other governmental institutions with comparable needs, such as the Armed Forces of Nigeria, the Federal Road safety Commission, and related institutions.

I know d reason y dis country is like dis. Nobody is holding d govt accountable for their actions. Internet youth wil come here and rant without any action taken. U support leaders based on sentiments instead of wat they have to offer. Truth b told, naija is not ready for greatness, they see d truth and hide from it. Its only God that knows d plans of these folks. How can a group of people DAT have shown to b threat in d society b allowed to run a radio station, for wat, to enable dem know wen to strike simultaneously abi. No wonder d Igbo's wants to leave dis "not well country". Can u just imagine. Even book haram will make there operation easy via d station. Until Fulani proves to b peaceful, who Eva supports dis is evil

If it's not for a particular group then, why name it "Fulani Radio"? Anyway, whatever damage control NBC is bringing out now is late. We have taken note and already interpreted what we thought the agenda was, and acting on it.
The truth is that we are living on false unity, but I wish we can really live as a nation but the happenings daily is pointing elsewhere.

jrusky:


Sorry for sure that is what will kill you. And you are fasting bah? That carbomonoxide will kill you and wipe all your folks out of earth face.

Force unity won't work. Lol. Nigeria is a funny country. In 50 years to come, I can bet u that Nigeria will still be struggling with electricity, water, roads, jobs, food, poverty, etc.

Archive this post. A country that wants to grow, there is usually a noticeable pattern, unfortunately, that is not the case with Nigeria. What pains me most is that it is the masses who will suffer this the most.

We are still hoping to get 1600 respondents for my friend's PhD survey questionaire. Pls, you can be of help.

It's nice to know I pissed you off. Next time watch what you type with those lazy fingers of yours.
And for your information I'm not fasting. No time for that. I might be a Hausa boy born into a Muslim family but I'm a free thinker.
Fvck fasting..... Next
