Barely 24 hours after National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, revoked the operating license of Daar Communications, operator of AIT and Ray Power, Veracity News can confirm that the station is now back on air.
It would be recalled that NBC, Thursday suspended the operating license of the Communication giant. The Director General of the NBC, Dr. Modibbo Kawu said the decision was based on the violation of the broadcasting code by the stations which is backed by provisions of Section 10 of the Third Schedule of the NBC Act Cap N11 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.
Apart from violating broadcasting code, he said the decision was also taken for the failure of the broadcast stations to pay their license fees as when due, even persistent warning to the company to toe the line of caution
Meanwhile a senior staff of the communication outfit who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the matter said an official statement would soon be issued in reaction to this latest development.
