The federal government has taken its struggle to control internet content in Nigeria to the National Assembly as the minister of information and culture,

Meanwhile, the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria , International Press Centre , and other stakeholders at the public hearing all kicked against certain provisions seeking excessive powers for the NBC.BON, in its presentation at the public hearing, urged the lawmakers to expunge a provision which stated that before NBC can be sued to any court, a 30-day notice must be issued to the commission.

BON further canvassed that the penalty for a delay in the renewal of the license should only attract a fine in monetary terms and not revocation of the license. “As it suits the whim and caprice of its director-general, it decides that an offense has been committed, decides on the punishment and goes ahead to apply the sanctions, which sometimes include the shutdown of broadcast stations. In other words, NBC is often the accuser, the prosecutor, and the judge in its case,” he said.
