The leadership of the Arewa Broadcast Media Practitioners Forum has been inundated with calls and inquiries from members on an alleged class action suit against Arewa 24 and the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC.
We wish to state categorically that our Forum is in no way or shape involved in or briefed about the purported court action against Arewa 24 and our national regulator, the NBC.
As a Forum of Broadcast Media Owners and Practitioners, we disassociate our Forum from this legal action, and uphold the right of any industry player in the region to practice his trade unhinged, according to the law and regulatory dictates.
Arewa Broadcast Media Owners and Practitioners Forum is a legally registered association for the growth of the Broadcast industry and promotion of professionalism in the Northern Region.
We support the right of all broadcast outlets to exist and practice their trade lawfully.
We also uphold the right of NBC to regulate our industry according to our laws.
Alhaji Abdullahi Yelwa,
Ajiyan Yauri,
