Kaduna State Government says it is set to establish a new television station in Zaria for the active participation of residents in governance and better dissemination of government policies and programmes.<\/span><\/h5>\n

Ahmed Maiyaki<\/span><\/strong>, the Managing Director, of Kaduna State Media Corporation (KSMC), disclosed this when members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Zaria Unit, paid him a courtesy visit on Friday in Kaduna.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maiyaki said the plan to establish the station has reached an advanced stage, which would be domiciled at the premises of Queens F.M. Zaria, adding that one of the key legacies he wanted to leave behind no matter how short his stay at KSMC would be, is to establish a television station in Zaria.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said he had already obtained the consent of\u00a0Governor<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Uba Sani<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0on the development, noting that\u00a0“KSMC TV is already on Startimes, we are also free-to-air satellite but a large chunk of people cannot afford to sustain the payment of Startimes subscription or decoders to access the satellite.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“I want to ensure that we have at least a two-kilowatt transmitter that will be able to transmit to all the local governments in Zone One, including a few local governments in Zone Two and Three.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

“This is to ensure that local communities access the TV station on a terrestrial antenna, not through the satellite.\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The managing director commended the NUJ Zaria Unit for the visit, stressing that the unit was the first chapel to felicitate with him over his appointment.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It was gratifying to me that the NUJ Zaria unit was the first chapel to visit me and felicitate with me on my appointment as the managing director of the KSMC.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

“I will do everything possible to reciprocate this gesture,”\u00a0<\/span><\/em>Maiyaki said.<\/span><\/p>\n
