Commissioner for Information and Culture, Alhaji Musa Kalgo, who disclosed this to newsmen yesterday in Birnin Kebbi, said already a proposal to buy the modern equipment was before the governor, awaiting his approval.

“As soon as we get the approval, the ministry will make the supply of the equipment and install them,” Kalgo added.
