The Director General of National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Mr. Is’haq Modibbo Kawu, has disclosed that all is set for the today’s launch of the sixth edition of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code in Kano.
Addressing the press in his office in Abuja, he said “I will like to inform you that the 6th Edition of The Code will be officially launched in Kano, next Thursday, July 4th, 2019. I will like to remind all our stakeholders that work on the 6th Edition of The Code had been completed since 2017, but we have been unable to release it since then because of a combination of circumstances”.
“Happily, the situation changed and we will be able to release the instrument to the Nigerian Broadcasting industry next week. Let me also state that even though the code derives from the provisions of Section 2(1) (h) of The Act, the NBC nevertheless works very actively with the industry: broadcasters; media intellectuals and civil society groups working in the media, to ensure that we have an instrument that has been democratically produced by all of us,” Kawu noted.
