The National Broadcasting Commission has granted an operational television broadcast licence to the National Youth Service Corps.

With the license, the NYSC would commence Direct Satellite Broadcasting as well as Internet Protocol Television.

The NYSC Director-General, Major General Shuaibu Ibrahim, received the broadcast licence from his NBC counterpart, Mallam Balarabe Ilela, in Abuja on Wednesday.

With the approval, Ilela said the Federal Government would give more voice to the scheme “to tell the NYSC story; especially its tremendous achievements to the whole world”.

He said that the NYSC, as one of the successful achievements of the Yakubu Gowon’s administration, has achieved its purpose of uniting the country in several ways, and also contributing immensely to national development.

Ilela said, “The commission normally gives licence in trust and we believe this will be used for the purpose it is given. We are very proud to be part of your progress. With somebody like you, we are sure our license is in safe hands.”

He, however, said the NYSC radio license was underway.

The NBC Director-General also used the forum to congratulate the NYSC Director-General on his recent promotion to the rank of Major General.

Ibrahim said that since his assumption of duty he has been passionate about the NYSC having its own radio and television stations, stating that it is quite fulfilling that the dream has come to fruition.

He assured that the NYSC would utilise the opportunity of the broadcast station to promote its programmes, including government policies and programmes.

AKURE OBASHIP: OBA AGUNSOYEBIOYINBO ADEMUAGUN ADESIDA 11 BROUGHT CLASS AND DIGNITY TO THE THRONE

      AKURE OBASHIP: OBA AGUNSOYEBIOYINBO ADEMUAGUN ADESIDA 11 BROUGHT CLASS AND DIGNITY TO THE THRONE                 By Sunday Ajibola There are men and there are men. Man gets to positions of power and authority and bring to bear their inner qualities. Position, as we have it here, is used to do all sorts of things; good and bad. But mostly and vexatiously, position blinds us as we use it to cheat and deny others their rights. Certain men understand that position is an opportunity to etch their names in gold and put such in the sand of time.   It is exactly fifty years today that the 42nd Deji of Akure, late Oba Agunsoyebioyinbo Ademuagun Adesida 11 joined his ancestors. That fateful day was Sunday and in the evening; darkness was just enveloping the city. It was the strange shouts of "opo ye o, opo ye o, opo ye o", that prompted me to rush out of our house at Oke aro. I saw people running helter, skelter. I did not bother about them. I was looking for the "electric
