The Nigeria Press Council (NPC) has proposed an amendment to the Act Establishing the NPC to substitute its name and function to be replaced with another organisation known as the Media Certification Board (MCB).
The Executive Secretary of NPC, Mr Francis Nwosu, canvassed the change on Tuesday when the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mr Mohammed Idris, visited the NPC secretariat in Abuja. He said the MCB would be responsible for the registration of all journalists in print, broadcast and online platforms in the industry so long as they have journalism training and background.
