One of the dreams of veteran juju
musician, King Sunny Ade, is to float a radio station. And indeed, that
dream has materialised as he inaugurates his MandC FM tomorrow after a
three-week test run.
According to the Executive Director of
the radio station, Mr. Clement Ige, the Board of Directors of the
station is mindful of its national vision in putting together a
professional team headed by Mr. Donald Falayi to achieve “ a reference
outfit” in the history of broadcasting in Nigeria.
“We took enough time on the drawing
board because M&C FM is strategically different from the pool in
terms of orientation and goal. You are going to listen to a medium that
will reflect Nigeria in many aspects that are conceptually designed to
inspire practically everybody, young and old.”
On the Board of the station which has
King Sunny Ade as Chairman, are eminent professionals which include Dr.
Yemi Farounbi, respected media administrator and diplomat, Engr. Dejo
Olugbodi and Mr. Clement Ige, a veteran journalist.
The station, Ige said, will be commissioned few days after the commencement of its full operation.
