The Commission asked all broadcast stations to deinstall their Twitter handles and desist from using it as a source of information gathering for News and programmes presentation especially phone-in.
The acting director-general, Armstrong Idachaba, NBC in a statement on Monday, said the directive is in line with Section 2(1) of the NBC Act, which according to him, entrusts the commission with responsibility to ensure strict adherence to the national laws, rules, and regulations.
“Also, section 3.11.2 of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code provides that “the broadcaster shall ensure that law enforcement is upheld at all times in a matter depicting that law and order are socially superior to or more desirable than Crime and Anarchy.
“Attention is also drawn to section 5.6.3 of The Code which requires Broadcasters to be mindful of materials that may cause disaffection, incite to panic or rift in the society in the use of a User Generated Content (UGC)”, he stated.
Idachaba said that it will be unpatriotic for any broadcaster in Nigeria to continue to patronise the suspended Twitter as a source of its information and called for strict compliance.

Is there a law against a private American enterprise called Twitter that created a platform for folks to do business and feed families? Something these morons won’t do except Mrs Oney Miracle that used her car allocation to build a bridge in Bayelsa. May God punish all the troublers of Nigeria. If the car allocation of a local councillor can construct that bridge I saw, the only reason Nigeria is backward is the greed at all levels. Imagine what Dino did with his remuneration, about 20 luxury cars with no wife and a beer belly filled with dollars. Everyday is for you troublers of Nigeria, one day, God will trouble you. Unless you repent
ReplyDeleteWe need to take these things seriously because their agenda is more evil than we can imagine.
