The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), says it will appeal a ruling by a Federal High Court, Abuja stopping imposition of fines on erring broadcast stations.
Its reaction to the Wednesday ruling by Justice James Omotosho was contained in a statement signed by its Director General, Balarabe Shehu Illelah.
In his judgement, Justice James Omotosho voided the N500,000 fine imposed individually on 45 broadcast stations on March 1, 2019.
The judge said NBC is not a court of law, and therefore, lacks the power to impose sanctions as punishment on broadcast stations.
