The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), has released an official statement, stating that Nigerian media shouldn't embarrass President Buhari's administration over end SARS movement/protest.
The statement reads;
The National Broadcasting Commission monitors with keen interest the coverage and reportage of the on-going protest on End SARS campaign and notes that Broadcasters have, so far, been conscious of their role as gatekeepers and the fourth estate of the realm.
In specific terms, the Commission enjoined Broadcasters to take definite note of the following provisions of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code to further guide their broadcast during this challenging time:
1.3.3 Broadcast technology enables the Broadcaster to bring information on issues of concern to the audience with immediacy. In the event of a crises, the advantages of broadcast technologies may be used but not in a manner to aggravate the situation or adversely affect those emotionally involved;
B. At times, ensure that coverage of a disaster or crisis is aimed at the overall public interest, guidance and safety.
