Director-General of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Mr. Charles Ebuebu, Wednesday, revealed plans by his agency to partner with Edo state government, through Edo State Broadcasting Service (EBS), to create a digital hub that will enhance better broadcasting services, content development, skit making, among others in the state.
He stated this during a courtesy visit to Governor Monday Okpebholo in Government House, Benin City, the state capital.
Governor Okpebholo commended the NBC for choosing to partner with the state government and said his administration would create an enabling environment to ensure that the partnership is successful.
He noted that the NBC decided to partner with his administration and use EBS as a platform after recognising the very many achievements recorded in just a few months. He assured the NBC that the necessary support needed to enable broadcasting to thrive in Edo state will be provided.
“I want to welcome you to Edo state, and you have started well by choosing to partner with us in the state. Edo is a home of history and culture. We have everything here. Coming to partner with us shows you recognise what we are doing in Edo state,” Governor Okpebholo stated.
The NBC boss, Mr Ebuebu, in his earlier remarks, noted that the visit is rewarding, as the discussions have been able to touch on certain initiatives which are the mandate of the commission, which is digital switch over.
“We have shared some of the ideas, and we commend you, on your remarkable achievements in a few months in office. We are ready to partner the administration on some of the objectives to enable us bring up the standard of broadcasting in Edo state and empower the youth, using EBS as a platform,” he said.
