The administration of Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State made history when the State’s radio station joined other Elite Radio stations in Nigeria for online broadcasting.
The move was part of the commitment of the New Direction Administration in using technology to bringing information about the State to the peope of the State both within and outside Kogi State.
The Radio Kogi also known as Confluence FM 94.1 was established 30 years ago and is now among the first State-owned Radio Stations in Nigeria to join the league of online Radio Stations, aside Eko FM and Anambra State Broadcasting Corporation.
With this development, Radio Kogi could now be listened to from anywhere around the world and could also add to the commercial benefits and the length of time on air.
The Radio station now has a website where people can read the news about happenings in the State and other parts of the world online.
Speaking on the unveiling of the website, the State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Evangelist Kingsley Femi Fanwo, said the breakthrough was made possible by the personal commitment of Governor Bello to make Radio Kogi a global choice.
“The Governor made it possible” , he said, adding that the people will now be better informed now.
