Introduction
Communication plays critical roles in
our society, ever since the invention of language, man has evolved socially,
politically and technologically in leap and bounds. It is convincible that the
society would not achieved sustainable development without communication, as
human society development and become so complex so do nature and role of
communication. It become apparent that the society was not a monolithic but a
conglomeration of conflicting interest and concerns, on the one hand you have
the ruling class on the other hand you the rest of the society which was
subdivided into smaller group. Mass media is the channel of communication which
is divided into two, the broadcasting organisations and the press but
dissertation would focused on broadcasting organisations.
Broadcast is to disseminate
information through mechanical means, simultaneously to a wide area and
heterogenous audience made up individual within and outside a society.1
Broadcast law is the field of law that
pertains to broadcasting. These laws and regulations pertain to radio stations,
Television stations and are also considered to include closely related services
like cable TV, cable radio as well as satellite radio and satellite TV.
National Broadcasting Commission was established to regulate Broadcasting
Industry which pave way for private entrepreneur to express ideas and
experiences that will enrich his life and help him live in a complex dynamic
life.
The legal instrument, the Decree2 that
established the National Broadcasting Commission has provides for its functions
and the National Broadcasting Commission Act takes cognizance of the development
in the industry regarding technology operators and attempts to regulate the
industry to meet the socioeconomic, political, technological and operational
dictates of the society.
It is probably not contentious to say
that one of the most highly valued of the fundamental liberties guaranteed to
members of a free and democratic society is the freedom of expression. The
liberty to comment freely and publicly on matters of common concern is in
alienable right of membership of a free society. The liberty of discussion is
the right to make critical observations and useful suggestions without at the
same time subverting the continued existence of the governing authority.3 The
right to make comment has as its correlative, a duty not to subvert where the consequence
of a comment is an incitement to change the government and the means advocated
for it must adhere to the legitimate methods prescribed by the society itself.
