Following public outcry over Olamide’s hit song ‘Science student’, the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission,(NBC) has slammed a ‘Not To Be Broadcast (NTBB)’sanction on the song.
Tribune reports that the notification proscribing the song from being broadcast was sent to all radio and television stations across the country during the out-gone week.
In the same vein, the Head of Public Affairs, NBC, Hajia Maimuna Jimada confirmed NBC’s stand on the hit song.
“NBC does not ban music. Our mandate is on what goes on Radio and TV. Olamide’s Science Student has been declared ‘Unfit for broadcast’.We have communicated all our licensees for compliance or they will face sanctions,” she said.
Though Olamide has revealed that the song doesn’t promote drug abuse, the public agitation obviously prevailed over his stance.
