Addressing the committee members, the General Manager reiterated the strategic importance which the state media organisation occupies in its quest to propagating government programmes and policies, especially at the grassroots. She categorically harped on the need to promote the SMART Agenda policy of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, noting that in the face of mounting competition from new private radio stations all around Asaba, there was need for Delta Broadcasting service to maintain it's leading role, taking into cognizance the upcoming 2019 general elections and the need to portray government in its true perspective.
The Deputy General Manager,Outside Broadcast Mr Ruke Edjeren in his remarks assured the Management that everything possible will be done to actualize the "Back to Air" challenge, despite the enormous challenges posed by shortage of funds and the normal bureaucracy which does not always suit the broadcast environment. He added that with the cooperation of all stake holders, the radio arm of the service should be back on air within the next 48 hours and called on well meaning individuals and corporate organisation to visit the station to see the extent of devastation with a view to lending a helping hand and putting the station back on its footing.
It would be recalled that "ACTION INK" also reported a few days ago, that the Delta Broadcasting Service Asaba was submerged in water after the heavy downpour last Saturday and the flood destroyed the radio studio and transmitters, computers, cameras and other valuable electronics and accessories running into millions of naira.
