The Federal Government will soon inaugurate a dedicated radio station to broadcast lessons for adult and non-formal education learners across the country.
Dr John Edeh, Director of Literacy and Development at the National Commission for Mass Literacy, Adult and Non-Formal Education, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Saturday.
Edeh, who is also overseeing the commission, said the initiative was approved by the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, to expand access to learning in remote communities.
He explained that radio remained the cheapest and most accessible medium for reaching marginalised and hard-to-reach populations.
According to him, the station will broadcast literacy and vocational education programmes nationwide and beyond Nigeria’s borders.
