Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Lagos State Governor, has commissioned the first Local Government-owned radio station in Nigeria (Ishokan 106.7 FM).
Sanwo-Olu, in his address on Friday said the new radio station operated by the Mushin Local Government emphasises the importance of information dissemination to the people.
The governor who launched Nigeria’s pioneering local government-owned radio station through Femi Hamzat, the Lagos State Deputy Governor also commissioned other legacy projects executed by Emmanuel Bamigboye, the Chairman, Mushin Local Government, at Oliyide Street, Mushin, Lagos.
Sanwo-Olu said that the launch of the historic radio station is laudable and worthy of emulation by other Local Government Areas (LGAs).
According to Sanwo-Olu, “It is always good to communicate with our people. So, we must appreciate the chairman of the local government for building these notable projects.
“First, getting all the federal agencies in one place, so that if you need anything, you are not running from one place to another.
“Secondly, establishing this radio station, and many other projects, including roads, markets, and others, is a real achievement,” said Sanwo-Olu who added that the residents should be excited about having such a political party and chairmen who are commissioning infrastructures that some states cannot do.
The governor stated that Lagos State is progressing under the All Progressives Congress (APC), adding that as roads are being commissioned, primary healthcare, schools, administrative blocks and so many more are also being launched.
According to Sanwo-Olu, this implies that the APC is a progressive party, while he urged the people to unite and be able to stand on President Bola Tinubu’s mandate.
He reiterated further that to be able to stand on that mandate, every resident must possess a voter’s card, stressing that those who are yet to have it should ensure they go out when the registration process commences, as the prosperity of the nation strongly depends on the reforms and policies of the president.
