The Kwara State Broadcasting Corporation has said that efforts are being made to offset the debts of the organisation to the Nigeria Broadcasting Commission (NBC).
NBC had on Friday released a list of 50 debtor broadcasting station stations and revoked their operating licences. Stations belonging to the Kwara State government were affected by the action.
In a statement signed by the General Manager, Radio Kwara, Kayode Aremu, on Friday, the debt was acknowledged and a promise was made to settle the debt.
The statement read in part: “We acknowledge that the debt has accumulated from 2006, and consistent efforts are already being made to settle it.
“Apart from the N10m of the longstanding debt already settled by the current administration as of 30 November 2021, His Excellency Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has assured the stations of immediate resolution of the debt, which stands at N20.5m.”
The affected stations include Midland FM, AM and Kwara Television.
