Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki has said his administration is leveraging on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to reposition the state-owned media, to align it with global media trend.
He spoke when he received the management of National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), led by its Director-General, Alhaji Is’haq Kawu, at the Government House, Benin.
Obaseki said plans had been finalised on how to reposition the state-owned broadcast media.
He assured the NBC that his administration will support it in the digital switch-over.
The governor said his administration would procure state-of-the-art digital equipment, upgrade skills and solicit NBC’s support in achieving goals.
Kawu described the rich cultural heritage of Benin kingdom as unique, saying with the digital switch-over, stations would package and beam the country’s rich cultural heritage to the outside world.
He implored Obaseki to assist in solving the flood experienced by NBC zonal office.
