NBC chief defends controversial broadcasting code, attacks Iroko TV
National Broadcasting Commission
Mr Idachaba said these while discussing the newly amended NBC code with Osasu Igninedion on a Web TV show,“The involvement they do is an artistic investment that allows them to take cultural artistic materials, original to the Nigerian people, and export, maximise the profit, suck it out of Nigeria and still take abroad. Is that not injustice to the Nigerian society?” he said of Iroko TV
“So we need to have a conscious policy that would lead us to develop our culture and our own creative community. Don’t be blackmailed by all the stories. He also said that NBC in compelling sub-licensing of content and regulating price, would effectively turn a private enterprise into state property.
