Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo on Friday during a session with Nick Clegg, vice-president of Facebook’s policy and communication, says the Federal Government needs to revisit the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) amendment of the broadcasting code.
The code, which has stirred a lot of controversy, seeks to regulate content exclusivity, enforce content sharing and empower the NBC to determine prices at which content is sold to sub-licensees by rights holders. Also, the fine for hate speech has been increased from N500,000 to N5 million. Osinbajo said there is need to take a second look at the code so as not to “stifle the work of hardworking, creative people”.
