The
Ogun State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Chief Adedayo Adeneye has
expressed optimism that Ogun State Television (OGTV) and Ogun State
Broadcasting Corporation (OGBC) would be upgraded from analogue to digital
transmission by next year.
Adeneye
who gave this assurance during a familiarization tour to State owned media
houses and other agencies under the Ministry, said the State could not afford
to be left behind in the digitization world, adding that all hands must be on
deck towards achieving the goal.
The
Commissioner who was accompanied by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry,
Mr. Ibikunle Onasanya and top Management staff said since the Ministry was
saddled with the responsibility of projecting and propagating programmes and
policies of Government, the two media houses must be repositioned to
consolidate on the Rebuilding Mission of the present administration.
“By
the special grace of God, next year, we would go digital because the world has
gone digital, though it might not be an easy task but we would do all we can do
to make it happen. We need to upgrade our facilities because the image of the
message is as important as the message” he said.
While
inspecting the facilities at OGTV and OGBC, the Commissioner urged Management
of the two media houses to strategize on how best to improve on their
Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), saying Government could not shoulder the
responsibility alone.
In
the same vein, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information and Strategy,
Mr. Ibikunle Onasanya charged Management and Staff of the visited agencies to
be proactive and dedicated to duty, towards the development of the State and
the Country at large.
Responding,
General Manager OGBC, Engr. Tunde Awolana and Acting General Manager OGTV, Mr.
Dele Bolujoko commended the Commissioner for the visit and promised a good
working relationship with the Ministry in promoting Government activities and
programmes.
Other
agencies visited include, Ogun State Signage and Advertising Agency (OGSAA) and
Ogun State Printing Corporation.
