Aniagwu applauds NTA Mgt, makes case for station’s empowerment

By Tina Osoro

The Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Asaba has been commended by the Delta State Government for being a worthy partner in broadcasting government activities.

This commendation was given by the Commissioner for information, Mr Charles Aniagwu while playing host to the management staff of NTA Asaba in a courtesy visit to the ministry’s headquarters, Asaba.

Aniagwu stated that NTA Asaba, apart from the state-owned media outfits, had been very instrumental in publicising the projects and programs of the state government owing to their far-reaching network.

The commissioner speaking on the challenges the media house is facing advised the local management to relate with their national centres to see how a good percentage of funds generated by the various state via live coverage would be left for the maintenance of local stations.

While explaining the state had its own challenge meeting the needs of its owned media outfits, Aniagwu promised to continue to synergise with NTA Asaba and address some of her needs.

“The state government have their own challenges which is to bring up DBS to function, it is not easy to feed your children let alone another person’s child.

“So the central body has to have a rethink,” he stated.

On the issue of poor power supply, he promised to take the issue to the governor to see what can be done in that direction.
