The Federal High Court’s ruling prohibiting the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) from fining broadcast stations “is ill-conceived and dead on arrival due to legal encumbrances.”
This was according to Mr. Nelson Orji, Director, Legal Department, Federal Ministry of Information and Culture.
He claimed during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, on Friday, that an Abuja-based Federal High Court had already made the opposite ruling, holding that the NBC had the authority to impose sanctions on errant stations.
