The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has expressed grave concern and deep disappointment over the “formal notice” issued by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) on April 17, 2026.

The union described the directive—warning broadcasters to ensure “strict and uncompromised compliance” in the face of alleged breaches of professionalism—as a veiled attempt to stifle the media and institutionalise censorship.
