NBC deny ban on Falz song #thisisnigeria

The ‘ban’ on Falz’s song as been denied by the National Broadcasting Commission who alleged that the ‘ban’ #ThisIsNigeria was as a result of a petition by the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC). 

Director General of the NBC, Ishaq Midibbo-Kawu, said Nigerians must understand that NBC does not ban any song, but only reminds it’s licensees about categorisation of music which was usually decided by the lyrics of the song.

He added that “If a song is categorised, “Not To Be Broadcast” (NTBB)  then, we will inform the broadcasters that they cannot be broadcast. This is what it is misinterpreted in the social media that we banned the song,”.

Ishaq in a press release also encourage Nigerian artistes to have a version of their song for club usage which can carry all kinds of lyrics and another versions of their songs that is fit for public broadcast space.
