Fourth Location for KAS Radio - Foundation Office Nigeria
Discussion
Details
The Niger Delta is Nigeria’s problem child: unbelievably rich in oil and gas, but totally poor. Political education is very important here. Hardly anybody likes to go there and hold seminars: curfew, shootouts between gangs or with the military recently deployed to the area, make all seminar plans ad absurdum. Our answer: the radio programme of KAF-Nigeria “Vision Nigeria” will be transmitted from Port Harcourt into the heart of Niger Delta.
The expert analyses topics of political education from democracy to tolerance and conflict management once a week in the studio. The listeners can ask questions by calling or sending text messages, which are then answered by the expert. The programme ends with a short quiz.
The target audience is the people of the Niger Delta, who despite the oil riches from the area are suffering. There is a concentration on the youths, who are ready to point out alternatives to embracing crime and violence.
