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
