SIR: We in Media Rights Agenda are hereby asking, through this application made pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, 2011, the National Broadcasting Commission to provide us with details of the independence reportedly granted by President Muhammadu Buhari to the Commission in the exercise of its regulatory functions.
In particular, MRA wants to know whether the power vested in the Minister of Information under Section 6 of the NBC Act to give the Commission directives with regard to the exercise by the commission of its functions had been abolished and if so, whether there are plans to amend Section 6 of the Act accordingly.
In addition, it said, if the NBC is now vested with final authority to issue radio and television licences, it wanted to know if there are plans to amend Section 2 of the NBC Act accordingly.
