“We have a fully equipped house in South Africa, which is used for the Big Brother shows.
“This means that we are able to achieve high production values whilst meeting tight timelines and ensuring the show comes to our viewers on time as planned, and with the same globally renowned quality.
“The house has played host to other Big Brother countries including; the general Big Brother Africa, Mozambique, Angola and now Nigeria,’’ the statement quoted Oghuma as saying.
Recall that the directive by the FG ordered the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) to determine whether Multi-Choice, has breached the Nigerian Broadcasting Code by shooting the show which will run for 78-days in South Africa.
”As a country of laws, only the outcome of the investigation will determine our next line of action,” the minister of information and culture said in the statement.
The minister also called for calm while the NBC investigates the issue and submits its findings after he revealed that concerned Nigerians have been inundating him with calls over the matter which they regard as an anomaly.
