The Kaduna State Government has approved the sum of N6 billion for the digitalisation of the Kaduna State Television (KSTV), according to Alhaji Sa\u2019idu Adamu, the Commissioner for Information.<\/p>\n
Adamu announced this during a visit to Queen FM in Zaria on Friday.<\/p>\n
The commissioner said that 15 workers of the station would be sent to China for training on the use of the new equipment.<\/p>\n
He said the move was in line with the 2015 global deadline for the digitalisation of all radio and television stations.<\/p>\n
According to him, work will commence in the next six months while test transmission is expected to start by the first quarter of 2013.<\/p>\n
Adamu said that the government also planned to improve transmission to cover the entire state by building sub-stations in Zaria and Kafanchan.<\/p>\n
He said that booster stations would be established in Birnin Gwari, Lere and Sanga Local Government Areas and that more workers would be employed.<\/p>\n
He, however, said there would be no automatic appointment of any artist.<\/p>\n
The commissioner urged the artists wishing to be retained to apply, assuring that their qualification and experience would play an important role in enabling them to secure employment. (NAN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
