The Nigerian authorities have banned local radio and television stations from relaying foreign news broadcasts live. This move has stopped the BBC from broadcasting news and programmes on FM in four Nigerian cities, depriving listeners across the country of a popular source of national and international news. The ban on live relay broadcasts was imposed by the government’s radio and television regulator, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), with effect from 1 April.
