AIT will pay their licence fee that is due to regain it.

NBC will uphold regulations to ensure sanity in the media sector.

Media practitioners will be held responsible for the content they unload on the public.

Anything else is just noise.

Before you allow the foolish ipob Miscreants to shape your opinion on this issue:

Remember:


1.PDP/NBC under Yar Adua suspended CHANNELS TV for violating NBC rules, democracy was not under threat.

2.PDP under Jonathan suspended ADABA radio(a subsidiary of Tinubu's TVC), for breaching broadcast rules, Democracy was "flourishing"

4. Jonathan asked the DSS to mob up all the Newspapers belonging to leadership.

AIT has been suspended and fined by NBC for several and consistent violations of broadcast ethics,failure to pay their licence fees as at when due,despite several written warnings.

Ait like Twitter, Facebook, Nairaland, WhatsApp etc has regulatory supervisions, if you contravene any of their codes, you would be sanctioned including Suspension or outright ban..

Whipping up sentiments on the social media, won't help their cause. If they feel aggrieved, they should approach the courts for remedy..After all, NCC sanctioned MTN we all hailed, is it because it is a South African company?
I don't have an iota of respect for people that reasoned like you. Unfortunately, a lot of Nigerians including our leaders falls into this category and that is why the nation is not progressing. What is bad is bad: whether it was done by Jonathan or Buhari.

Granted, AIT went overboard in some of their programs, but if we are to go NBC regulations, that is not enough to close down the station.

I am very sure that the FGN by now would have realised that this closure will cause further damage to PMB's dwindling reputation and I am sure the station will be open before June 12.

Stupid analysis. You failed to tell us why they were sanctioned.

Other stations had been shut down by different regime in the past by leaders then and they were not tyrants but AIT shut down for deliberately going against the rules and not paying its fees as at when due now despite several warnings from the NBC, suddenly Buhari is now a tyrant. Congratulations bro
At every point that a media house was shut down in Nigeria, it was met with resistance from d public and civil society groups irrespective of who was in power. This is no different

HeWrites:
Former presidential candidate, Oby Ezekwesili, has attacked the Nigeria Broadcasting Commission (NBC) after it suspended the license of Daar Communications Plc., owners of Africa Independent Television (AIT) and Ray Power, Igbere TV reports.


Igbere TV reports that NBC Director-General, Modibbo Kawu, announcing the suspension on Thursday, said the action was taken for failure of the broadcasting station to abide by the broadcasting code.


Nigerians have appeared unimpressed with the sanction, calling it an attack on the media.


Ezekwesili, a former education minister, said on Friday via Twitter with an attached copy of NBC sanction letter to AIT, that the commission wants AIT to be like the state-owned Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) in its approach to matters concerning the government.


“My Summary of this lengthy Sanctions letter from NBC to AIT is simply this: ‘We have warned you several times in the past to stop broadcasting things that upset the Government and NBC. You refused to listen. Now we shall shut you up and down until you are ready to be like NTA’.


“There is nothing in that letter from NBC to AIT that reaches the threshold for withdrawal of license and shut down of a Media house that we all know Government perceives as an ‘Opposition media’.


Wisdom should have actually instructed the FG against striking out at them,” she said.

. This woman is a comedian who only wants identity in Nigeria.When she was the minister under Obasanjo was NTA then different from NTA now?NTA is for the federal government while the AIT is owned by a person.All State radios and TVs are for for the government..NBC is thee regulator.If a report is not balanced and objective ..NBC must take. action
