The Federal Government has suspended all reviews and increases in broadcast licence fees until further notice, following concerns by the Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria (BON) over rising operational costs in the industry.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, announced the directive during a meeting with a BON delegation in Abuja, directing the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to ensure compliance.

BON Chairman, Tony Akiotu, had highlighted the financial and regulatory challenges facing broadcasters, while urging the government to sustain dialogue and consultation to protect the industry's operations.
