She recalled that at the inception of the present administration in 2019, all the state-owned media houses were in virtual comatose, adding that the Governor has been working tirelessly to ensure that all government agencies are up and running efficiently.
“It is a thing of pride that the administration of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq is extending the frontier of radio broadcasting in the state through the new Radio licences.
The two new stations of Radio Kwara about to take off will enable our people in all parts of the state to get informed about the activities of the government, thereby fulfilling the governor’s promise of inclusiveness”, the Commissioner said.
Buraimoh commended the State Governor, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for his positive disposition to the turning around of the fortunes of the state-owned media houses.
The license was officially presented by the General Manager of Radio Kwara, Alhaji Kayode Aremu, who also expressed his pleasure at such a thoughtful project by the governor.
