The National Broadcasting Commission has granted Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, Ogun State, an operational licence for a campus radio.
A statement issued on Friday by the institution’s Public Relations Officer, Yemi Ajibola, said the approval was contained in a letter addressed to the Rector of the institution, Dr Koye Jolaoso, by the NBC Secretary, Francisca Aiyetan.
Ajibola noted that the approval was part of the rector’s effort in resuscitating the campus radio which would also serve in the training of students of the institution.
Quoting the letter, Ajibola stated, “I am directed to convey the approval of the National Broadcasting Commission to your request to commence full transmission on your Campus FM Radio Station, MAPOLY 99.7MHz, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
“This is based on the report of the successful completion of Test Transmission by the Station in compliance with the provisions of the National Broadcasting Commission Act, Cap. N11, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 and the Nigeria Broadcasting Code.”
Ajibola stressed that the development would foster the development of the 46-year-old institution by providing practical training for students of the institution in the Mass Communication Department.
