Delta State Commissioner for Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu has said, Waffi TV beyond providing entertainment and information to the people is now nevigating into more realm thereby becoming an appostle of the prosperity to all Deltans policy of the Delta State Government.
Mr. Aniagwu stated this in Asaba while fielding question from newsmen over the activities of Waffi TV, a popular online and cable Pidgin English television station based in Warri, Delta State.
The commissioner for information while commending the Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer of Waffi TV, Pastor Ares Akemotubo for looking beyond entertainment and information dissemination and nevigating into the skill training through reality show, noted that, his initiative will contribute immersely to the advancement of the State.
According to him; “Let me appreciate the young man for taking the pain to put together a crop of some young men and women for the purpose of advancing what has been more unique to us i.e the Pigin English which we can also export to other parts of the world.
Secondly and most importantly, this initiative is geared towards empowerment of the youths and the mind. The decision to go beyond setting up this medium which has provided employment for our young men and women and to now nevigagte into the realm of having to teach people some skills by way of reality TV is quite novel”.
“We have seen other reality TVs where other individuals go and engage in anti-social behaviours and action, but he has looked beyond the issue of fun to the issue of learning while having fun, that to me is quite instructive. This is the more reason why I believe that every Deltan and indeed the government of Delta State should extend the hand of support to Waffi TV”.
Mr. Aniagwu stated further, “Waffi TV beyound providing entertainment and information to our people is now nevigating into more realm in having to ensure that our younger ones value what they call dignity of labour and that means he is also contributing to the advancement of the State and indeed becoming an appostle of the prosperity to all Deltans policy of this administration and that is most commendable and we are very grateful”. He said.
