15 workers to be sent to China for training on the use of the new equipment

The Kaduna State government has approved the sum of N6 billion for the digitisation of the Kaduna State Television (KSTV), Alhaji Sa?idu Adamu, the Commissioner for Information disclosed.

Adamu, during a visit to Queen FM in Zaria on Friday, said that 15 workers of the station will be sent to China for training on the use of the new equipment.

He said the move was in line with the 2015 global deadline for the digitisation of all radio and television stations.

According to him, work would commence in the next six months, while test transmission is expected to start by the first quarter of 2013. 

Adamu said that the government also planned to improve transmission to cover the entire state, by building sub-stations in Zaria and Kafanchan.

He said that booster stations would be established in Birnin Gwari, Lere and Sanga Local Government Areas and that more workers would be employed.

He, however, said there would be no automatic appointment of any artist.

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.
