After CNG wrote a complaint letter dated
January 10, 2021, over the non-inclusion of Northern-based television stations
on the DSTV platform, the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) arranged a
meeting with the DSTV on March 18, 2021 to change its position and consider
carrying northern based television stations that could meet the laid down
procedures.
But in a statement issued in Abuja on
Thursday, CNG spokesperson, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman regretted that there has not
been any attempt by MultiChoice to keep their part of the agreement five months
after the meeting took place.
CNG called on NBC to act to get the
MultiChoice to keep its obligation agreed to at their last meeting before the
coalition proceeds the next line of action which may not preclude the
enforcement of a regionwide boycott.
The coalition recalled that while it was asked
to submit a list of five qualified television stations from the North for
consideration by the MultiChoice, which was done immediately, it was yet to
fulfil its part of the agreement.
“The CNG by this wishes to remind you (NBC) to
act to get the MultiChoice to keep its obligation agreed to at that meeting
before considering the next line of action which may not preclude the
enforcement of a regionwide boycott.
“While we await an update on the situation
from you on the matter Sir, we remain, as usual, faithful in your commitment,”
the statement read in part.
