Commissioner for Information, Muhammed Garba, disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday in Kano.

The council also approved N55 million to procure Set Top Box for the successful digital switch over from analogue to digital television in the state.

The commissioner said that the council had directed the Ministry for Local government and Chieftaincy Affairs to handle the issue.

He added that the ministry would supply the STB to all Primary Health Centres, Community Viewing Centres, Local Education Authorities, primary and basic schools and the 44 Local Government Councils in the state.

”7, 000 units of the STB will also be supplied to the 114 Ministries Departments and Agencies and 1,460 to Senior Secondary Schools in the state at the cost of N12, 500 per unit,” he added.
