The governor who stated this when he visited Delta Broadcasting Service, Asaba Thursday[10-07-14] to inspect the on-going digitalisation work at the station said that “ the ability for an establishment to be productive depends largely on the attitude of its workers to the job and the use of its equipment”. He explained that government could buy the most sophisticated equipment for an establishment but if the workers do not have positive attitude to work and handling of the equipment as their own, there was no way the organization would provide effective service delivery. Dr. Uduaghan assured that the state would meet the NBC 2015 deadline for the digitalisation of all broadcasting stations in the country, disclosing that the digitalisation of the state broadcasting stations in Asaba and Warri would be completed soon.
