The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has announced the shutdown of AIT, Silverbird, Rhythm FM and some state broadcasting stations over non-compliance with license renewal.
The director general of NBC, Malam Balarabe Shehu Ilelah made this announcement while briefing journalists in Abuja.
He said that all affected media houses must suspend operation within the next 24 hours.
He noted that the stations owe a total of N2.6bn; adding that some of the stations affected have not renewed their licences since 2015.
“This is the first batch, there are those who have not renewed their licence since 2015, 2016 and 2017. We are asking them to come and pay their licence fees,” he said.
He warned that all stations that have not renewed their licences should do so in 30 days to avoid sanction.
