Nigeria’s information and culture minister, Lai Mohammed has responded to the supposed mandate to suspend the Big Brother Naija reality television show.
A week ago, a few news sources made cases that the clergyman of data and culture ordered NBC to stop airing the reality show.
Lai Mohammed, has now exposed those cases that he coordinated the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to suspend the Big Brother Naija show.
An announcement made by Mohammed’s media assistant, Segun Adeyemi, distanced the minister from the purported order to the NBC, PM News reports.
Adeyemi said:-
“That statement is not credited to the minister. We will not dignify speculative reports; if a minister issues a directive, it will not be issued verbally. “There’s going to be a memo to that effect that he will send; anybody that is sure that the minister made that statement should provide a memo.”
