The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has extended enforcement of revocation order on debtor broadcast stations from 24 hours to Wednesday August 23, 2022.

In a statement, the Director General of NBC, Balarabe Shehu Ilelah, said the extension was due to the appeal by the affected broadcast stations, relevant stakeholders, public-spirited individuals and organisations.

“This is to inform all the affected broadcast stations whose licenses were revoked and given 24 hours to pay all outstanding license fees that the National Broadcasting Commission has extended the period which all outstanding debts are to be paid from 24 hours to Wednesday August 23, 2022.

“All affected broadcast stations who fail to defray their debts on or before August 23, 2022 are directed to shut down by 12am on August 24, 2022.”
