The National Broadcasting Commission ordered African Independent Television, Silverbird Television, and broadcasting organizations run by several state governments to cease operations within the next 24 hours due to indebtedness totaling at least N2.6 billion.
Balarabe Ilelah, the NBC’s Director-General, revealed this to journalists at the commission’s offices in Abuja.
According to the NBC, all affected television and radio stations must cease operations within the next 24 hours.
He noted that the stations owe a total of N2.6bn; adding that some of the stations affected have not renewed their licences since 2015.

He warned that all stations that have not renewed their licences should do so in 30 days to avoid sanction.
