Ike Agba

Premier FM Puts Smiles on Senior Citizens

By Web News 194

Old age in Nigeria and Africa is generally associated with poverty, health challenges and lack of adequate care.

The need to, therefore, give the elders a sense of belonging made Premier FM 93.5 to put together a programme called Ike- Agba, which brought them together to unwind and enjoy.

The elders, clad in colourful native attires, trooped in large numbers to Omo Ajorosun club, venue of the event.

While welcoming the elders, General Manager, Premier FM, Mr Segun Ogunjobi, said Ike Agba, which centres around care of the elderly, portrays Radio Nigeria as a dynamic station that prioritises welfare of senior citizens. 

Taking the guests down the memory lane of Ike Agba, a former General Manager of the station, who is also one of the initiators of the programme, Mr Adedamola Tinubu said the idea was to bridge the gap which manifested through the neglect of elders in the society.

A PDP gubernatorial aspirant in Oyo state, who was the chairman on the occasion, Chief Niyi Aborisade, advised women against leaving their husbands behind to cater for their grandchildren overseas.

Chief Aborisade noted that the marriage slogan of together forever must be sustained without anything or anybody separating.

He also called on the government and individuals to prioritise the well-being of the elderly.

Zonal Director, Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, Ibadan Zonal Station, Mr Dominic Mokikan, represented by Deputy Director Outside Broadcast and Sports, Dr Abiodun Ogidan explained that the station saw the need to celebrate the contributions of the elders to the development of the society.

Speaking on the theme of the celebration, “Older Persons, Driving Local and Global Action: Our Well Being”, Mr Mokikan pointed out that the elders are not just observers but play a major role in shaping society through their vast experience.

Mr Adegboyega Ayinde, a 70 years old and Hajia Azeezat Winjobi, 81 years old, advised their counterparts not to be involved in businesses that would affect their mental health.

We need devolution of power, resources in Nigeria – Dr Farounbi

By Web News 338

By Blessing Okareh

A veteran journalist, Dr Yemi Farounbi has advocated devolution of power and resources to states and local governments for a more prosperous nation.

Dr Farounbi stated this while featuring on the Independence Edition of Straight Talk, an interview programme on Radio Nigeria’s Premier FM 93.5.

He explained that critical sectors of the economy like security, health, education and agriculture should be completely decentralized and each state allowed managing the sectors according to its cultural peculiarities.

Dr Farounbi also called for a re-orientation of Nigerians, to restore lost confidence in the country.

He urged Nigerians to patronize locally made goods to grow the nation’s economy and invest more in the economy rather than seeking greener pastures abroad.

The veteran, who is also a diplomat, however, lauded the intelligence, resilience and doggedness of Nigerians, while calling for political reforms to reposition the nation’s democracy.

TRCN Scribe Calls for Better Pay for Teachers

By Web News 742

The Registrar, Chief Executive of Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, Professor Josiah Ajiboye, has advocated for a higher standard living for teachers, to meet up with the international standards.

While featuring on The Stage, a personality interview programme on Premier FM 93.5, Ibadan, Professor Ajiboye said outside Nigeria, especially in countries like Finland and Germany, teachers are more highly paid than other professions as they are the best brains the country could boast of.

Professor Ajiboye noted that, if maximum attention was given to the needs of teachers, it would yield a positive impact on both the teachers and the students.

The Registrar Chief Executive of TRCN, however, said that only professional teachers should be strictly taken into the teaching sector for a better teaching standard.
