2027 Polls: STB Manufacturers Alert Tinubu of Impending ‘Broadcasting Crisis’
Sunday Aborisade in Abuja
The Association of Licensed Set-Top Box Manufacturers of Nigeria (STBMAN) has raised the alarm over the National Broadcasting Commission’s (NBC) planned transition from analogue to digital broadcasting.
The group warned that the exercise could trigger confusion, legal disputes, and disruptions capable of undermining the credibility of the 2027 general election if not properly managed.
In a statement issued yesterday in Abuja by its Chairman, Sir Godfrey Ohuabunwa, the association appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to urgently intervene and halt what it described as a unilateral implementation process, pending wider consultations with stakeholders in the broadcasting industry.
