Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, commissioned N1.2 billion in state-of-the-art transmitters and digital equipment procured for the Osun State Broadcasting Corporation on Wednesday.

Speaking at the commissioning of the newly reinvigorated radio arm of the broadcasting corporation at Oke-Baale, Osogbo, the governor also approved the appointment of a new Director-General and Permanent Secretary of the corporation, Mrs. Jolaaade Igbaroola.

OSBC 104.5 FM, Osogbo; 89.5 FM, Orisun, Ile-Ife; and 96.3 FM, Reality Radio-Vision, Iwo, are all provided with two transmitters and two digital studios each, making six digital studios and six transmitters in total.”

“I want to assure you that the issue of your freelance staff is being attended to, and they will soon smile. I want to thank the Kabiyesis and everyone for coming. Imole will shine on every sector of the state living spring,” he concluded.
