NBC plans to shut down debtor broadcasting stations

The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has stated that it would shut down broadcasting stations that are owing the commission licensing fees.

The Director General, Is’haq Modibbo-Kawu, said that any broadcasting stations that failed to come up with a payment plan before September 15 would be shut down.

”There will be a consultative meeting between BON and NBC.
”Stations must try to regularise or work on a payment plan. The truth of the matter is if there is nothing definite done by trying to pay the money owed NBC we are going to close down quite a number of radio and television stations.

”Especially because we know that a lot of them are targeting elections and the money they will make.

”We will make it impossible for them to make that money because if they do not pay their licensing fees, then they have no right to enjoy any freebies from elections.”
