Oyetola seeks revitalisation of state broadcasting station

The Osun State Governor, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola, said his government remained committed to the revitalisation and repositioning of the state-owned Osun State Broadcasting Corporation to meet the digital requirement of 21st century technology-driven station.

The governor who spoke on Monday while delivering his remarks at the presentation of report and recommendations of the OSBC Revitalisation Committee, held at the EXCO Lounge, Governor’s Office, Osogbo, added that his administration resolved to build a virile broadcast station.

The governor, who described OSBC as a critical organ, said the revitalisation of the station would bring about the desired result in information and communication management in the state.

Oyetola called on the management and staff of the station to discountenance any insinuation that the exercise was initiated to retrench workers, saying that the action was taken in the positive interest of all.

He said, “As much as I commend the prompt delivery of this report, so also that I need to clear the air that this revitalisation exercise is not intended to downsize workforce.

“This is a noble initiative designed to reposition the station for greater performance as this exercise is not for OSBC alone but also initiated to bring out the best in other broadcasting stations.

“Our administration is committed to getting the best out of the station as we are committed to looking at the report holistically for prompt implementation.”
