Unbelievable! Broda Shaggi, Mr Macaroni, Taaooma, Sabinus & others may stop skit making (See reason)
The Nigerian government has warned digital skit makers, firms, and others in the digital media industry that any more violations of the newly passed ARCON Act will attract serious sanctions. The Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria (ARCON) said the sanction could range from fines to one-year imprisonment of the culprits.
Punch reports that Fadolapo said that ARCON is supported by the Ministry of Information and Culture and the National Assembly. It would begin rolling out punitive measures to defaulting agencies and persons. ARCON’s Director-General said sanctions would involve digital space practitioners such as Meta, Google, and Twitter. He also said content creators on YouTube and TikTok would be affected.
He denied rumors that ARCON seeks to regulate social media and a clampdown on free speech but ensures that promotional content done via digital media platforms conforms to laid-down standards and laws. He said: “As we are aware, recently, the law setting up the agency was changed. The APCON law was repealed. The ARCON law was enacted. During the enactment of the ARCON law, there was a review of advertising practices.
