Speaker Abbas congratulates Radio Nigeria at 75
The Speaker of the House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Abbas Tajudeen, Ph.D., GCON, has congratulated the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) on its 75th anniversary, saying the state-owned media organisation has boosted the image of the country over the years.
The FRCN (Radio Nigeria) is reputed to be the largest radio network in Africa, with 47 FM stations and six zonal stations in Ibadan, Yenagoa, Enugu, Maiduguri, Makurdi, and Kaduna.
Speaker Abbas, in his congratulatory message to Radio Nigeria through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Musa Abdullahi Krishi, said FRCN has indeed lived up to its slogan of “uplifting the people and uniting the nation.”
Speaker Abbas emphasised the significant role of state-owned media like the FRCN, especially at a time when fake news, misinformation, and disinformation are rife. He added that Radio Nigeria has continued to foster unity, peace, patriotism, and nation-building among Nigerians.
While congratulating the board, management, and staff of FRCN, the Speaker urged the media organisation to continue to maintain the broadcasting and journalism standards. He also called for continued propagation of national values, especially among the youth.
