WorldStage– The Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has urged media organisations in the country to continue to maintain broadcasting and journalism standards and also to ensure ceaseless propagation of national values, especially among the youth.
He made the appeal through a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Musa Abdullahi Krishi
Special Adviser, in a congratulatory message to Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) which clocks 75 years in operation.
While congratulating the board, management, and staff of FRCN, the Speaker urged the media organisation to continue to maintain the broadcasting and journalism standards.
The Speaker said 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.
Abbas said the corporation has indeed lived up to its slogan of “uplifting the people and uniting the nation.”
He 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.
