THE CODE OF CONDUCT ADVISORY ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMMISSION IS YET ANOTHER TROUBLING ATTEMPT TO MUZZLE THE MEDIA AND SHRINK THE SPACE FOR FREE EXPRESSION IN NIGERIA.- ATIKU ABUBAKAR.(PHOTO).


 "The Code of Conduct advisory issued by the National Broadcasting Commission is yet another troubling attempt to muzzle the media and shrink the space for free expression in Nigeria.


Our media industry has grown into a formidable institution, respected globally for its resilience and professionalism. It is therefore alarming that, each time elections approach, the NBC resorts to heavy-handed directives that do more to silence dissent than to uphold ethical journalism.


I stand firmly with Nigeria’s broadcast industry and all media platforms resisting this creeping censorship.


Let it be clear: ethical standards are not seasonal tools to be weaponised during campaigns, they are constant obligations.


The timing and tone of these regulations expose a deeper agenda. It signals a government more interested in controlling narratives than permitting a free, fair, and transparent electoral process. –AA
