Court Nullifies Broadcasting Code Empowering NBC To Impose Fines On Broadcasters by chokekachy: 3:37pm On Jan 17 |
On 10th May 2023, a Federal High Court restrained the NBC from imposing fines, henceforth, on broadcast stations in the country. A Federal High Court in Abuja today declared null and void the provisions of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code authorizing the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to impose fines on broadcast stations for alleged breaches of the Code as it ruled that administrative and regulatory bodies could not exercise judicial powers. https://independent.ng/breaking-court-nullifies-provisions-of-broadcasting-code-empowering-nbc-to-impose-fines-on-broadcasters/?utm_source=&utm_medium=%5Bfacebook%5D&fbclid=IwAR0XZfgG2lHlIB25cj2H9X64rJHZvOFyPa8dDExiPxU1tgrDoJPOCSWugMI 16 Likes

Political appointees from the last administration really used their political powers through NBC to deliberately punish some broadcast stations who criticised their principal's administration and leadership style. We should develop a system that impose strict repercussions for breaking our numerous laws that have been docile since 1960. |
