In what could have been an event that will never happen, the staff of Imo Braodcasting Corporation [IBC] organized an end of the year get-together in honour of the Corporation’s management committee led by Imo State commissioner designate, Chief Vitalis Orikeze Ajumbe.
In the event which took place at the Corporation’s premises, the staff described the committee as the best they have ever had and congratulated them for showing the world that IBC is really a revenue generating parastatal.
In an address by the chairman of the Corporation’s labour Unions, Comrade Sam Eke said that Chief Ajumbe and his committee has given IBC a facelift against the general notions that they are revenue consumers instead of generators.
He thanked them for their good works and understandings when it seemed like they will be in war without end with labour union, adding that the ability of the Committee to handle the staff issues and rejuvenate the Corporation, earned Chief Ajumbe a commission slot in Governor Rochas Okorocha’s cabinet.
He described the award, as something the committee merited and something everyone will never forget in a short time because of the glaring impacts they have made in the Corporation within a short time.
Comr Eke urged Governor Rochas Okorocha to come to the rescue of the Corporation by providing them with more digital equipment to enable them compete favourably with other media houses in the country.
Responding, Chief Vitalis Orikeze Ajumbe hailed his colleagues Pastor. Ralph Afoaku, Pastor Frank Onwumere and staff of IBC, adding that they are the reasons for the success they have seen.
He hailed Governor Rochas Okorocha for finding him and his team worthy for the job, describing the governor as a man who thinks of nothing but how to develop Imo State.
Chief Ajumbe urged the staff to keep working hard and also expect to see great changes before three months.
Others who eulogized the committed at the event include the Director General of the Corporation Evangelist Esther Obong-Egbuna [Sister Eee]; Imo State NUJ chairman, Sir Innocent Igwe, other staff, guests and labour union representatives.
