Governor Aiyedatiwa Dissolves OSRC Board and Appoints Kenneth Odusola-Stevenson as New DG

In a decisive move aimed at repositioning the Ondo State Radiovision Corporation (OSRC) for greater efficiency and service delivery, Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa has approved the dissolution of the Kunle Adebayo-led Board and Management of the media organization. This decision underscores the Governor’s commitment to ensuring a more dynamic and results-driven media landscape in the state.

The Governor also announced the appointment of Mr. Kenneth Odusola-Stevenson as the new Director General and Chief Executive Officer of OSRC. Odusola-Stevenson, a seasoned media entrepreneur and business leader, brings a wealth of experience to the role. As the former Chief Press Secretary to the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, he demonstrated exceptional leadership and strategic insight, earning him widespread respect in the media and communication industry.

The newly appointed Director General is expected to spearhead a comprehensive transformation of OSRC, steering the corporation toward achieving its mandate of delivering quality broadcasting services and advancing the communication objectives of the state government.

As part of the transition, Governor Aiyedatiwa directed the dissolved board and management team to hand over all government properties in their care to Mr. Odusola-Stevenson with immediate effect. This directive ensures a smooth and orderly transition, allowing the new leadership to hit the ground running.

In his statement, the Governor expressed his gratitude to the outgoing Chairman, Kunle Adebayo, and other members of the board and management team for their contributions to the state’s media development. He acknowledged their dedication and efforts during their tenure, wishing them well in their future endeavors.

Governor Aiyedatiwa’s decision is widely seen as part of his broader vision to revitalize key government institutions in Ondo State, fostering accountability, professionalism, and innovation. By appointing a proven professional like Odusola-Stevenson, the Governor reaffirms his administration’s resolve to prioritize effective communication and engagement with the people of Ondo State.

The Ondo State Radiovision Corporation, a key pillar of the state’s information and media ecosystem, has played a critical role in promoting the government’s agenda and disseminating vital information to residents. With the new leadership in place, there is optimism about a new era of progress and innovation at OSRC.

As the state awaits the impact of this significant leadership change, stakeholders and citizens are encouraged to support the new administration in delivering on its mandate of effective and impactful broadcasting.
