The Ogun State Muslim Council, OMC has commended the management of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, FRCN, for entrusting a younger generation of broadcast professionals with leadership roles.

The commendation came in a congratulatory message to the new General Manager of Paramount FM, Abeokuta, Mrs Oluremi Olugbenro.

In the statement signed by its Secretary-General, Asiwaju Kamal’deen Akintunde, the Council described the appointment as a “well-deserved elevation” that underscored Olugbenro’s outstanding track record and rich experience in the broadcast industry, describing it as a vote of confidence in the future of the corporation.

The Council noted that the appointment was in line with the growing national call for increased women’s participation in governance, as reflected in a bill currently before the National Assembly.

It urged the new Paramount FM boss to justify the trust reposed in her by excelling in her new role and serving as a model for other women aspiring to leadership.

“As it is often said that ‘what a man can do, a woman can do better,’ this is a golden opportunity to prove the claim,” the statement read.

The Council also charged Mrs. Olugbenro to sustain the ethical broadcasting standards for which Paramount FM is known for and to work towards restoring the station to full operational strength, following recent challenges that have led to intermittent services.

While pledging its full support and prayerful wishes, the OMC expressed optimism that the new GM will steer the station to greater heights.

The Ogun Muslim Council, OMC, has renewed the call for the review of International Labour Law to mandate employers and employees to engage in “round table” discussions as a sustainable option for resolving industrial disputes.

The OMC Secretary General, Alhaji Kamaldeen Akintunde made the call in a statement in Abeokuta while reacting to the recent industrial action of the organized labour over the National minimum wage.

While encouraging the organized labour to heed the voice of reason and wisdom by embracing the intervention of well-meaning Nigerians and stakeholders across various sectors, the religious body also urged the Federal Government to be open to negotiations and not remain obstinate regarding labour’s demands.

Recounting the effects of the strike action on the social economic activities in the country especially on the airlift of pilgrims to Makkah and Madinah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, OMC called for maturity and understanding from the Labour movement during this critical time. 

The OMC, while lamenting the current economic hardship and inflation that have caused significant suffering among Nigerians, advised families and individuals to adjust their economic plans to align with the present realities.
