Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State has expressed unhappiness over the state of affairs at the Enugu State Broadcasting Service (ESBS) which signals currently cannot be received in parts of the state.
The governor observed that the station’s service signals lacked wide coverage as they were not received in remote locations, especially Nsukka, adding that this has denied the people their right to know about government activities and programmes and forestall the expected feedback from them.
The governor who was speaking at the station’s complex while on an unscheduled visit, therefore, assured that his administration would assist the station financially and otherwise to ensure increase in the energizing of the station for efficient and effective service delivery and the actualization of wider coverage of the radio and television of the broadcasting service.
Governor Ugwuanyi who was taken round the station by its Managing Director, Mr Jika Ato noted that there is a need to increase the local contents of the station for the promotion of our cultural heritage.
The governor inspected the three studios in the station, conference room and the control room in the company of his Chief of Staff, Mr Victor Atuonwu , the Secretary to the State Government, Elder Gabriel Aja and the State Commissioner for Information, Dr Godwin Udehele, among other top government officials.
