The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has ordered all broadcasting stations in Nigeria to suspend the use of the popular microblogging platform, Twitter.
This was contained in a statement issued by its Director General, Armstrong Idachaba, on Monday morning.
Mr Idachaba said television and radio stations are advised to “desist from using twitter as a source (UGC) of information gathering for News and programmes presentation especially Phone-in.”
This comes after the federal government’s ban on Twitter activities in Nigeria.
