LEADER of the Oodua People’s Congress, OPC, Otunba
Gani Adams, has announced the launch of an Oodua
Radio/Magazine, in honour of the matriarch of the
Awolowo dynasty, late Hannah Idowu Dideolu Awolowo.
Adams who said the launch took place in London earlier
in the week, explained that the media will serve to
project, enhance and showcase the Yoruba cultural
heritage and tradition of the Yoruba to the world at
large.
He said that there was an urgent need to resuscitate the
Yoruba culture and tradition which he regretted were
going extinct.
Adams said the radio station would propagate the
cultural beliefs of the Yoruba through what he described
as effective communication channels.
According to him, “establishing the Oodua Radio and
Magazine is a deliberate attempt to showcase Yoruba
culture and ethics globally.
In his address, Tourism Editor of Tribune newspapers,
Gabriel Akinadewo, urged Nigerians especially the
Yoruba to be culture ambassadors within and outside the
country.
“We must all support the Federal Government by
projecting the image and protecting the name of Nigeria
for the change mantra to work and Oodua Radio is a
platform for everybody living in London to do this,” he
said
