The Ogun State Head of Service, Dr. Nafiu Aigoro has assured of government’s readiness to reposition the Ogun State Broadcasting Corporation (OGBC) to meet today's broadcasting standard in terms of equipment and manpower,

in order to compete favourably with other radio stations.

          Dr. Aigoro gave the assurance in Abeokuta, during a courtesy visit of the Management team of the Corporation, led by its General Manager, Mrs. Toyin Sogbesan.

          Aigoro said for OGBC to remain outstanding in the broadcast industry, there is need for its repositioning, so that the benefits of the government’s investment in the sector could be fully achieved.

          Describing OGBC as a medium that had provided tutelage, to so many people in the industry, the Head of Service promised to look into the requests tabled before him, revealing that the present administration has approved an estate for the staff to boost their morale.

          "It will gladden my heart if OGBC is well repositioned to be in a good stead to compete favourably with other radio stations. The Ogun State Ministry of Information and Strategy will work together with the Corporation to achieve its mandate", Dr. Aigoro said.

          Speaking earlier, Mrs. Sogbesan said, as the station would turn 45 years on December 9, 2021, there is need for total overhaul of its equipment, especially its transmitter for better service delivery.

          She solicited for the take-off of Ijinle FM, which would serve as the indigenous arm of the broadcasting station and pledged the continued support and loyalty of the workers to the State government.

          In another development, Optometrists have been called upon to do the needful with available equipment, in order to keep improving on service delivery to the people of the State.

          The Head of Service made the call while receiving members of the Nigerian Optometric Association, Ogun State Chapter in his office.

          Dr. Aigoro said as government health workers, they should be able to bridge the gap by providing more robust services to improve the eye care of the citizens and advised them to work harmoniously with other health practitioners in their various facilities, so that patients could benefit from their expertise.

          Earlier, the Chairperson of the Association, Dr. Ngozi Erue said the essence of the visit was to congratulate the Head of Service on his appointment and to seek for the right standing of Optometry practice in the State, as it is not being practised the way it should, due to lack of manpower and other challenges confronting them.
