Osun State governor, Gboyega Oyetola, has set up a seven-man committee to revamp, and reposition the Osun State Broadcasting Corporation (OSBC), to make it a leading light in broadcasting as envisioned by the founders.
While inaugurating the committee yesterday, the governor charged the members to prepare the ground for the revitalisation of the state-owned broadcast media to meet the challenges of a technologically-driven world.
He urged the committee to examine the station’s content, facilities, operations and personnel, attuning them to the requirements of the 21st century broadcasting and international standard, to deliver the desired optimum performance.
The committee, chaired by Obaniyi Akinwale, is expected to submit its report in two weeks.
Other members are Mr. Olabode Awe (secretary), Mr. Taiwo Ojewande, Mr. Kayode Akinsola, Mr. J. Ayo Makinde, Prince Yeye Oyedokun and Mr. Edmund Obilo.
At the ceremony attended by the management of OSBC led by the director-general, Mrs. Adejumoke Akinjiola, the governor charged the committee to find out the challenges militating the station’s optimum performance and recommend solutions.
He also directed the committee to examine the broadcast content and equipment stock available and make appropriate recommendations to improve operations.
“Inauguration of this committee is symbolic because of its importance and impact on the agenda of this administration and the life of the state.
“OSBC remains the voice of government to the people of Osun and vice versa. It is therefore an ally in the efforts of this administration to deliver quality service and development to the people,” the governor added.
