The Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation says it has taken note of concerns raised by various stakeholders in the media industry regarding the recent directive by the Niger State Government to suspend the operations of Badeggi FM, a radio station in Minna.
According to reports, the Governor of Niger State, Mohammed Umaru Bago, issued the directive during an expanded Niger State APC Caucus Meeting in Minna on Friday, which the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, attended.
The governor reportedly cited allegations of unethical broadcasting and incitement against the government.
The Minister appeals to all parties to remain calm, assuring that the National Broadcasting Commission has the necessary mechanisms to resolve the issue in a fair and impartial manner.
