Mixed reactions have continued to trail the judgment of the Federal High Court, Abuja barring the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) from imposing fines on erring broadcast stations.
While some lawyers and stakeholders hailed the decision of the court others have argued that the judgment “is ill conceived, dead on arrival and cannot be enforced because of legal encumbrances”.
Ruling in a suit filed by Incorporated Trustees of Media Rights Agenda, MRA, Justice James Omotosho held that NBC lacked the power to impose fines on broadcast stations.
