Broadcasters need to be objective, accurate and fair in all they do – NBC ZD

The quality of an advertisement, programme and news presentation portrays the integrity of the presenter and the station.

The Zonal Director, National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, Mr. Raphael Akpan stated this in Ibadan during the weekly meeting of the Programmes Department of Radio Nigeria, Ibadan National Station held at the Studio One, Broadcasting House, Oba Adebimpe Road, Dugbe, Ibadan.

Mr. Akpan noted that programmes staff should be accurate and objective in their production as it says a lot about the standard of the station.

The acting Zonal Director, Radio Nigeria, Ibadan Zonal Station, Mrs. Bolanle Owoyemi, advised the staff to be mindful of what they produce and package.

Mrs. Owoyemi said the broadcasters should design programmes that would be a standard for all Radio Nigeria stations.

In the same vein, the Deputy Director Programmes, Mrs. Bolatito Joseph said broadcasting was not child’s play as it was mandatory for the broadcasters to uplift the standard of the station.

Mrs. Joseph then appreciated the NBC Zonal Director for the lecture and the Zonal Director, FRCN Ibadan, Mrs. Bolanle Owoyemi for her support.
