The belief was that a<br \/>\ncash-strapped NBC could not refuse the funds. However, NBC Chairman, Ikra<br \/>\nBilbis reportedly ordered the return of the money to GoTV with a stern<br \/>\nwarning to GOtv to abide by the NBC\u2019s earlier notice, emphasising that<br \/>\nthere would be no waiver or exemption.<\/p>\n<p>While some stakeholders in the broadcasting industry were commending the<br \/>\nNBC Chairman, the South African owned GoTV were undeterred in their<br \/>\ndetermination to evade NBC\u2019s DSO implementation agenda by other means.<br \/>\nThese took the form of commissioning several petitions against the NBC and<br \/>\nthe DG with particular interest in smearing the implementation of the DSO<br \/>\nwith trumped up allegations.<\/p>\n<p>Not done with petitions, GoTV along with some unscrupulous, selfish and<br \/>\nunpatriotic Nigerians in the NBC and the House of Reps to cause a change<br \/>\nto the laws of Nigeria to favor the position of GoTV that the DSO be<br \/>\njettisoned. The refusal of the Presidency to assent to the Bill dealt a<br \/>\nhuge blow to their aspirations.<\/p>\n<p>Sources also revealed that a major anti graft agency was not amenable to<br \/>\nthe ulterior motives of the sponsored petitions especially as all the<br \/>\nstages of implementation of the DSO since 2014 were found to have met the<br \/>\nrequirements of due process and all payments approvals in line with the<br \/>\ndirectives of the Federal Executive Council.<\/p>\n<p>It was therefore surprising to many stakeholders that another sister anti<br \/>\ngraft body (name withheld for now) took up the misinformed allegations in<br \/>\none of the petitions. The inclusion of numerous factual errors and wrong<br \/>\nidentification of the NBC and the objective of the DSO in their now famous<br \/>\npress release issued in November 2018 ostensibly show-casing the<br \/>\nanti-corruption agency\u2019s feat, triggered public outrage and raised serious<br \/>\ndoubts as to the genuineness of the purported investigations and motives.<\/p>\n<p>Sources close to the anti graft body\u2019s management revealed that the fiasco<br \/>\nover the NBC\/DSO investigation was \u201cembarrassing\u201d as it exposed them to<br \/>\npublic ridicule over the numerous errors that could not have been the<br \/>\noutcome of proper investigation but the decision to take the matter to<br \/>\ncourt to freeze accounts and arraign NBC and Pinnacle Communications<br \/>\nLimited executives had been fast-tracked prior to the fiasco.<\/p>\n<p>An indication of the credibility of the petition-based action of agency<br \/>\nwas the unfreezing of the accounts of Pinnacle Communications Limited<br \/>\nafter it sued the said agency before an Abuja Federal High Court presided<br \/>\nby Justice Dimgba who berated them for taking action against the company<br \/>\nwithout thorough investigation or justification.<br \/>\nExpectations that the inauguration of a new board for the anti graft<br \/>\norganization, which had been operating without a board and under an acting<br \/>\nchairman, would lead to a review of the whole investigation proved<br \/>\nmisleading as the Executive Chairman appears to have ignored all<br \/>\nentreaties to review the investigative processes. The suspicion is that<br \/>\nthe Executive Chairman may have been inadvertently dragged into the Gotv<br \/>\nplot due to his alleged affinity with a top official in government. The<br \/>\ntop official, who is said to wield a lot of influence in directing the<br \/>\nanti graft agency , shares the sentiments of GoTV to the detriment of the<br \/>\ninterest of the Government of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, there are also allegations that part of the N2 Billion GoTV<br \/>\nmoney rejected by NBC is said to have found its way into private pockets<br \/>\nof some of the agency\u2019s operatives. These operatives are said to have<br \/>\nsworn to destroy the patriotic zeal of the NBC DG and the world class<br \/>\ndelivery of Pinnacle Communications Limited, who received only partial<br \/>\npayment well after six months of excellent delivery of the Abuja project<br \/>\nby the President through the Vice President and six months before the<br \/>\nKaduna delivery commissioned by the Governor of Kaduna State.<\/p>\n<p>The scheming has led to the delay\/suspension of the otherwise steady<br \/>\nroll-out of the DSO to the states since February 2018 in Osogbo where<br \/>\nInformation Minister Lai Mohammed, who has maintained a loud silence till<br \/>\ndate, bragged \u201cwithin the next few weeks, we will be rolling out in many<br \/>\nmore states as we seek to take the digital television experience to all<br \/>\nthe six geo-political zones. We now have our two Signal Distributors in<br \/>\nfull operation mode, the National Broadcasting Commission, the Set Top Box<br \/>\nmanufacturers, Digiteam Nigeria and indeed all stakeholders are pulling<br \/>\nall the stops to ensure that the DSO train continues unimpeded on its<br \/>\njourney across the country.\u201d.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"conversation-footer\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The travails of the embattled Director-General of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Ishaq Modibbo Kawu have been attributed to relentless efforts to force the Commission to rescind its decision to&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":65614,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
