The Taraba State Officer of the Commission, Agnes Ukpo, gave the commendation when the management of Gift FM Jalingo led by the General Manager of the station, Emmanuel Ejim paid a familiarization visit to the NBC office in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba.

Ukpo expressed delight over the visit and gave assurance that the commission would support the management of Gift FM to promote accurate and responsible broadcasting in the state.

She explained that the NBC was established to ensure that the Nigerian airwaves are not abused, hence the Commission’s responsibility to monitor broadcast content for effective media broadcast in the country.
