The Ekiti State Broadcasting Station (BSES) in Nigeria has been shut down because of a faulty power generator, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports. The broadcasting outfits run by the station are the AM Radio (Voice of Ekiti), FM Radio (Golden Voice of Ekiti), and the television station (Channel 41 UHF), all located at Ilokun-Ekiti.
Confirming the closure, the Director General of the station, Segun Aderiye, said in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday, that the station, launched on May 22 1999, was shut seven days ago because its only electricity generating set was faulty. He could neither confirm when the generator would be repaired nor when the radio and television channels would resume transmission, but described the generator problem as a “major fault.”
