Fulani radio also for fishermen, hunters, farmers, migrants- NBC

As at yesterday, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) said the proposed Fulani radio station is not just targeted at herdsmen alone.

That  the radio station is essentially for nomadic education outreach programmes, including electronically-mediated ones.

Reacting to the criticism trailing the introduction of the radio station, the NBC said in a statement that the National Commission for Nomadic Education duly applied for a broadcast license to develop and maintain nomadic education outreach programmes.

the medium is not meant to serve a particular group only as we may viewed it.

It calls back all broadcasters to be mindful of their social responsibility of promoting the well-being and peaceful co-existence of the various groups in Nigeria in keeping with the objectives of broadcasting in the country.

the letter of provisional approval slated September 28, 2018, was presented to the National Commission for Nomadic Education. The duration of the license is from October 8, 2018, to October 8, 2023. The NBC noted that the station’s programmes, which it describes as “purely educational,” will cater for the interest of migrant fishermen, herders, hunters, farmers, and migrants.

It added, “Consequently, it is a misrepresentation for any person or organisation to imply that the licensed station was just for a particular group.

“The commission wishes to state similar educational broadcast licences, were presented to institutions of higher learning and other governmental institutions with comparable needs, such as the Armed Forces of Nigeria, the Federal Road Safety Commission, and related institutions.
