The show airs 24/7 on channel 198 on all DStv packages, and channel 29 on GOtv Jolli and Max packages, until Sunday, October 3rd, 2021, when the winner will be crowned.

Ishaq Kawu Modibbo, former director-general, NBC

They were being prosecuted by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences (ICPC) of charges bordering on the ₦2.5 billion released to Pinnacle Communications under the Federal Government Digital Switch Over (DSO) project.

Delivering judgement on Thursday, Justice Ogunbanjo held that the ICPC was not able to prove the allegations against the defendants.

The judge further discharged the defendants on the grounds that the statements and evidence of the witnesses, could not pin any allegation on the defendants.

She further held that some of the witnesses contradicted themselves, and none of their statements was able to link the defendants to the charge.

According to the judge, while some of the witnesses in their oral evidence, said Lai Mohammed, former Minister of Information, was misled in approving the payment of ₦2.5 billion to Pinnacle Communications Ltd, they failed to render any documentary evidence.

The trial of the former director-general of the NBC lasted for six years.

He and Pinnacle Communications were prosecuted by the ICPC, on a five count amended charge over the release of ₦2.5bn to Pinnacle Communications Ltd, under the approval of Mohammed, under the FG Digital Switch Over (DSO) project.

FG Urges Radio Stations to Promote Climate Change Awareness

Kindly share this post

The Federal Government has urged all radio stations in Nigeria to use their platforms to create awareness about climate change and its impact on the country.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, stated this in a statement he personally signed on Thursday in celebration of World Radio Day.

“Through informative and educational programs, Radio, like other critical media, can equip communities with the knowledge and tools to adapt to the changing climate and mitigate its effects,” he said.

He challenged radio stations to collaborate with other organisations and experts in the field of climate change to provide accurate and reliable information to listeners through interviews with scientists, environmentalists, and policymakers to enhance understanding of the issue and work towards finding sustainable solutions in line with President Bola Ahamed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

The Minister said, “The environment community should use this opportunity to reflect on their actions and how they contribute to climate change by adhering to simple changes in their daily habits, such as reducing plastic usage, conserving energy, and promoting sustainable agriculture, in order to make a significant impact in the long run.

“As Nigeria joins the world to celebrate the role of radio in fighting climate change, it is also important for citizens to remember that effects of climate change issues are beyond borders and are felt globally.”

The minister, therefore, appealed to Nigerians to join hands with other nations to find solutions and create a better future for the generations to come.

While congratulating UNESCO on this initiative, Idris wants the power of radio to be fully harnessed to make a difference and protect the planet for future generations.

Despite being in its test run phase, the station has already garnered thousands of listeners, with many praising its professionalism, unique programming, and commitment to delivering value.

The station kicked off with an exciting mix of hit music, motivational content, and commercial activities, setting itself apart as a trailblazer in the radio industry.

Feedback from listeners has been overwhelmingly positive. During a recent show on Thursday afternoon, the station was inundated with calls from enthusiastic listeners eager to share their thoughts.

While not all calls could be taken, the feedback received was nothing short of astounding, especially for a newcomer in the radio industry.

One listener, Grace Yusuf, mentioned how the station has positively impacted her daily routine.

“KongaFM is my go-to station every morning while commuting to work. The gospel music is great, while other content and inspiring discussions keep me motivated throughout the day,” she said.

“I believe KongaFM is going to redefine the standard in the radio space. I love how they incorporate AI into their broadcasts, making the experience seamless and engaging,” he noted.

Another enthusiastic listener, Michael Arinze, described KongaFM as “a breath of fresh air in the radio space.

They’ve not only delivered on their promise of hit music but have also created a platform where businesses can thrive. I’ve already taken advantage of two deals they promoted, and I can confirm they’re genuine.”

What truly sets KongaFM apart is its commitment to inspiring and motivating its audience. From the best gospel hits from 5:00 – 7:00 AM to thought-provoking discussions and hit music throughout the day, the station has created a unique listening experience that resonates with a wide range of audiences.
