“The publication is a major response to what was perceived as a grand design by the authorities to stiffle the broadcast media in Nigeria considered to be profoundly germane to the nation’s democracy, particularly for the grassroots.

“It is especially intended to enhance a deeper understanding of the issues at stake on the recent amendments to the 6th Edition of NBC Code.

“It will equally serve as an advocacy tool against the arbitrariness and draconian tendencies of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC).

“The launch will be attended by media and communication practitioners; media scholars, media organisations, media unions and other key stakeholders.”
