He remarked, referring to the Nigeria Broadcasting Commission, “All I can say is that there is a regulatory agency that governs broadcasting, and they are also aware of these two instances” (NBC).
I can assure you that there will be repercussions. The Broadcasting Code’s specific provisions that the BBC and the Daily Trust both violated are being investigated.
