NBC is Responsible for the Closure of Jay FM Jos and not Gov Lalong

NBC is Responsible for the Closure of Jay FM  Jos and not Gov Lalong.

2nd March, 2019.

While we sympathise with Jay FM, Jos over the misfortune that has befell it,  it is pertinent for us to address some issues associated with its closure by the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC).

For the records, Jay FM alongside 45 media stations which also include, NTA , AIT , Channels and TVC New were all fined by NBC which is the regulatory agency for ethical breaches which contravened provisions of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code.

National Broadcasting Agency (NBC)  is a regulatory agency established by the law. It supervises the activities of TV and Radio stations.  It is not controlled by the Plateau State Government.

For the records,  Jay FM was established when Gov Lalong became Governor. It's licence was also approved by the NBC and not Plateau State Government. If Gov Lalong did not make efforts to thwart the establishment of Jay FM in Jos then, is it now that he will engage in such?

To blame Gov Lalong for the sanctioning of Jay FM by NBC is reckless propaganda gone too far fuelled by the opposition. They should simply tell Plateau people their plans for the State and stop chasing shadows!

Politics should be played with decency and should be about issues. We enjoin the opposition to stop peddling malicious falsehood against Gov Lalong all in the name of giving the dog a bad name to hang it.

Gov Lalong will never play politics with businesses that stimulate the economy of Plateau State; something which Jay FM and other private business are doing.

The Rescue administration of Gov Lalong has provided conducive atmosphere for businesses to thrive in the State and it is the reason why since his coming on board as Governor,  the internal generated revenue (IGR) of the State has continued to improve.

This clarification becomes necessary owning to the fact that the opposition been jittery of the defeat awaiting it next week has  taken as a point of duty to engage in campaign of calumny and in the process de-marketing Plateau.

God bless Plateau.
