The National Broadcasting Commission has granted an operational television broadcast licence to the National Youth Service Corps.

With the license, the NYSC would commence Direct Satellite Broadcasting as well as Internet Protocol Television.

The NYSC Director-General, Major General Shuaibu Ibrahim, received the broadcast licence from his NBC counterpart, Mallam Balarabe Ilela, in Abuja on Wednesday.

With the approval, Ilela said the Federal Government would give more voice to the scheme “to tell the NYSC story; especially its tremendous achievements to the whole world”.

He said that the NYSC, as one of the successful achievements of the Yakubu Gowon’s administration, has achieved its purpose of uniting the country in several ways, and also contributing immensely to national development.

Ilela said, “The commission normally gives licence in trust and we believe this will be used for the purpose it is given. We are very proud to be part of your progress. With somebody like you, we are sure our license is in safe hands.”

He, however, said the NYSC radio license was underway.

The NBC Director-General also used the forum to congratulate the NYSC Director-General on his recent promotion to the rank of Major General.

Ibrahim said that since his assumption of duty he has been passionate about the NYSC having its own radio and television stations, stating that it is quite fulfilling that the dream has come to fruition.

He assured that the NYSC would utilise the opportunity of the broadcast station to promote its programmes, including government policies and programmes.

Since then, a retired military general has been acting in Fubara’s place. Speaking at a book launch in Abuja on Thursday, Shettima referenced his experience as former governor of Borno State to warn against presidential overreach. He recalled how former President Goodluck Jonathan once considered removing him, only to be advised against it by then-Speaker Aminu Tambuwal and Attorney-General Mohammed Adoke. “You do not have the power to remove a sitting governor,” Shettima quote...
