LETTER: NBC orders broadcasting stations to deactivate twitter accounts

The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has directed all broadcasting stations to deactivate their Twitter accounts and suspend the patronage of the microblogging service provider.

NBC, gave this directive, in a communique on Monday.

Contained, in the statement signed by Prof. Armstrong Idachaba, the NBC noted that the directive is consequent on the suspension of Twitter operations in Nigeria by the federal government.

 

Justifying its decision, the government suspended Twitter operations indefinitely by citing the persistent use of the  microblogging service provider for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence.

In line with this, NBC directed all broadcasting stations not to patronize the social networking service and to desist from using the platform as a source of information.
