“It is a difficult thing ensuring to continue broadcasting at this time, as diesel has gone up to N720-N750 per litre, ‘’Ramalan said.

“It is getting extremely difficult to be on Air and I don’t know how we are going to cope because 100% per cent of our TV and Radio Stations are running on diesel and there is no light.’’

“It is getting extremely difficult to continue being in business and if nothing is done to be bring back stable Public Power and reduction of Diesel price, we may have no option than to cut down our Programs and reduction of Staff as we cannot permanently be running our operations on this high cost of diesel, without electricity.
