Kebbi state government has earmarked N900 million for the digitisation of the state radio and television stations, a statement indicated yesterday.
The statement issued by Abubakar Dakingari, Chief Press Secretary to Governor Atiku Bagudu, Malam abubakar Dakingari, stated that the decision followed complaints that most parts of the state were not getting the stations’ signals.
According to the statement, the latest complaint was by the Emir of Yauri, Dr Zayyanu Abdullahi, who said the entire Emirate does not enjoy the services of the stations.
“The emir said the situation made it impossible for people in the emirate to be conversant and abreast of the day-to-day activities and policies of the government,” it read in part.
It added that “the governor is committed to ensuring that the two broadcast stations cover the whole state including Zuru and Yauri local government areas.”
