In a landmark achievement, Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji of Ekiti State has successfully reconnected the state’s broadcasting station to the national grid after a staggering 24 years of disconnection.
Hon. Olufemi Aduloju, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Special Duties, lauds this remarkable feat as a testament to Governor Oyebanji’s unwavering commitment to the prosperity of the state and his dedication to fulfilling the responsibilities outlined in his oath of office.
Governor Oyebanji’s focus on pragmatic development in critical areas signals a positive trajectory for Ekiti State. Aduloju commends the governor’s proactive measures, highlighting that such initiatives are crucial for the state’s overall progress.
The Ekiti State Broadcasting Service (BSES) faced economic challenges amid the country’s economic downturn, leading to shortened broadcast periods. However, Governor Oyebanji’s administration, during this challenging period, went above and beyond to ensure the continuity of the broadcast. With the recent reconnection to the national grid, there is optimism that both the broadcast periods and quality will see significant improvements.
Furthermore, the governor’s commissioning of the Independent Power Project (IPP), featuring a 5MW electricity generation station, underscores his commitment to transforming the state. This move signifies a substantial step towards enhancing the capabilities of the broadcasting station, showcasing Governor Oyebanji’s dedication to business and media development in Ekiti.
Hon. Olufemi Aduloju, having previously engaged with the broadcasting station on behalf of the governor’s office, expresses satisfaction with the positive outcome.
He extends congratulations to the management and staff of the station, urging them to reciprocate the governor’s gesture by rededicating themselves to their roles, with the assurance that additional support, including broadcasting equipment, will follow in the near future.
