The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), has revoked Silverbird TV, AIT and Raypower FM licenses, among others.

Mallam Balarabe Shehu, Director-General of NBC, confirmed the news on a Friday in a statement.

Shehu explained that this development was a result of failures by media houses to renew broadcast licenses.

He also instructed its state offices to liaise with security agencies to ensure the shut down of the operation of the stations within the next 24 hours.

According to the statement, the broadcast regulator had published lists of stations that are yet to renew their licenses three months ago.

The commission said, despite the publication, “some licensees are yet to pay their outstanding debts, in contravention of the National Broadcasting Commission Act CAP N11, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004, particularly section 10(a) of the third schedule of the Act.

“Therefore, after due consideration, NBC hereby announces the revocation of the licenses of the…stations and gives them 24 hours to shut down their operations.

“Our offices nationwide are hereby directed to collaborate with security agencies to ensure immediate compliance.”
