The Council also sincerely thanks the Governor for not only taking this bold decision of changing the old narrative of the EBBC, but for always believing in the Youths, many of whom he has appointed into sensitive positions.
The Council, therefore, calls on the Members of NUJ and indeed, the entire Staff of EBBC to give the new DG, who is our own, the maximum cooperation to succeed, in order to make EBBC to favourably compete in the comity of Broadcast industry both within and outside Nigeria.
