Such would be akin to cutting so close to the bone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most palpable reason for the failure of many of the media houses to pay for the renewal of their operating licenses could be easily found in the deteriorating economic conditions in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is understandable given the severe stress and strain that businesses in Nigeria have been subjected to owing to fallout of the COVID 19 lockdown in 2020, the ongoing disruption in global and domestic energy supply, the foreign exchange volatilities, and the associated hyper-inflation,\u201d Wabba stated.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that many media houses just like most businesses in Nigeria suffer the double jeopardy of escalating business costs and plummeting revenues.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, largely to blame for this sad state of affairs is the government whose mismanagement of the economy has ensured that a litre of diesel is now knocking at the borderline of N1000. To compound the situation is the epileptic supply of electricity with the national grid collapsing intermittently for the umpteenth time in recent months.<\/p>\n<p>He said, in addition to the soaring and scary rising energy costs which hit electronic media houses hardest given that they must always be on air whether it makes economic sense or not, there are salaries to pay. maintenance services, and sundry basic operating costs to keep the media houses running and serving their listening and viewing public.<\/p>\n<p>He stated further, \u201cAmidst these operational suffocations, how does the NBC expect the media houses to generate the money to renew their operating licenses? Indeed, Nigeria\u2019s media houses should be eulogized for resilience, and tenacity in the face of prevailing economic blizzards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe action of the NBC also smacks of insensitivity to the welfare of the staff of the media houses which operations are being shut down. It is unthinkable that in the middle of very traumatic economic realities, the government would be thinking of flinging many Nigerians into the unemployment market. Well, this is not new.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d A few days ago, the Nigeria Governors Forum made a case for the mass sack of Nigerians in government employment. The unsolicited advice which had been robustly deflated by the NLC reveals a very embarrassing underbelly in the thinking of those commanding the reins of power in Nigeria today- crass insensitivity. This is very sad and unfortunate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn defence of the media, democratic and economic rights of Nigerians, we call on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/06\/07\/stop-using-twitter-nbc-orders-broadcasting-stations\/\">NBC<\/a> to rescind this decision to withdraw the operating licenses of the affected 53 media houses. In light of our foregoing concerns, we urge that the media operating licence be reviewed downwards as information dissemination is a social service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlbeit, we just received with some relief new reasoning by the NBC to allow the affected media houses to continue to operate. This is commendable. Yet, our concerns conveyed in the foregoing subsist\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Recall that beyond the backlash that has greeted the NBC action, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP, has had to drag the federal government before the law court to quash the action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has been called out by the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Ayuba Wabba for putting sanctions on several selected media organisations.
