 Our Minister of Information and Culture Lai Mohamed and critical stakeholders have disagreed over proposed regulations on the broadcast media in the country. Now this is common as the House of Representatives Committee on Information, National Orientation, Essex and Values begin a public hearing on five bills before the House. Recent developments in the media space have elicited cause for the amendments of some laws conceded obsolete and dangerous to human coexistence. In this regard, the House of Representatives has decided to bring five bills that will regulate the activities of the media to ensure effective control. To amend the National Broadcasting Act 11, not the Federation of Nigeria 2004, to strengthen the commission and make it more effective to regulate broadcasting in Nigeria. The use of information and culture, Lai Mohamed, while reiterating the importance of regulating the new and the social media, kicked against the domestication of international media laws in the country. He disagrees completely with a section of the proposed MBC bill that compels it to pay its earnings directly to the Federation account. Very soon, MBC would have to be paying its own salaries and would have to pay for all its overheads and all its operations. So if that is the way the executive is thinking, there would be a drawback. But stakeholders were opposed to the proposed amendment to the MBC bill, saying it will stifle the media and render it important. They advocated that the Minister of Information should be stripped of all parts to control the MBC so as to make it independent the void of all government influence and bias. Section 21b should provide for the commission the power to approve licenses without reference to other government organs, while Section 21c should be removed. Digital TV is entertainment services and the pricing there is a very, very, very complex gamut. People who are in that industry are very, very price sensitive because if you fix a price that is too high, subscribers will not subscribe or not subscribe at all. All the bills slated for hearing include the bill for an act to repeal, the Advertising Practitioners Act, a repeal of the National Film and Video Census Act and a bill to amend the Nigerian Press Cancel. The public hearing continues on the first day.
