The Governor made this known when he received the National executives of the Radio, Television, Theatre, and Art Workers Union of Nigeria (RATTAWU) on a courtesy visit at the Government House in Minna, the state capital.
He disclosed that the state government is currently doing a power audit of some state-owned media organisations to identify equipment that are power-consuming, with a view to transitioning them from the national grid to a mini-grid.
‘We are going to make sure that Radio Niger and the Niger State Television are revamped and brought to light.
“Power is critical, and we are doing all within our power to transition from the national grid to mini-grid”, he said.
