    <h2>FG Orders NBC To Shut Down Big Brother Naija</h2>

    <p>
        The Federal Government has reportedly ordered the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) 
        to take Big Brother Naija (BBN) off the air over fears of a possible spread of COVID-19 among housemates.
    </p>

    <p>
        According to TheCable, Armstrong Idachaba, acting Director-General of the NBC, 
        told senior management members that he had been directed by the Minister of Information 
        and Culture, Lai Mohammed, to shut down the show.
    </p>

    <p>
        Insiders disclosed that the NBC management was not well disposed to the move, 
        with some members saying there was no strong basis for the decision.
    </p>

    <p>
        A director reportedly reminded the meeting that NBC had already sought explanations 
        from MultiChoice regarding a possible violation of COVID-19 protocols before the show began. 
        The letter was sent on July 1.
    </p>

    <p>
        MultiChoice responded with detailed explanations on safety measures taken in collaboration 
        with the Lagos State Government. The Lagos State Safety Commission had given approval 
        for the show to proceed.
    </p>

    <p>
        According to the response, housemates were screened prior to the show, and the BBN house 
        was decontaminated and restructured to ensure physical distancing. The use of a live audience 
        was also eliminated.
    </p>

    <p>
        All housemates reportedly underwent a mandatory two-week isolation period during which 
        any COVID-19 symptoms would have manifested if present.
    </p>

    <p>
        Another director stated that participants had maintained safety protocols, including 
        consistent use of hand sanitizers since the show began.
    </p>

    <p>
        Idachaba, who is reportedly seeking confirmation as the substantive Director-General, 
        was advised to request a written directive from the Minister. However, he reportedly 
        stated that he would have no option but to carry out the order.

        <strong>Citizens Supporting Citizens</strong> have begun visiting villages as part of their continuous

    <p>
        The campaign aims to bridge the social awareness gap surrounding the challenges created by 
        lack of basic amenities and the daily struggles Nigerians face in accessing infrastructural benefits. 
        It also focuses on managing economic difficulties intensified by the COVID-19 lockdown.

    <p>
        The team paid a courtesy visit to the Chief of Zhiko Community, 
        <strong>HRH Bulus K. Wakili</strong>. 
        Speaking on behalf of the Chief, <strong>Mr. Philip Yohanna</strong>,
