Four years after getting a provisional license from the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), MAPOLY Radio 99.7FM will commence operations by September.
The rector of Moshood Abiola polytechnic, Dr. Samson Odedina made this assertion while receiving in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, the state coordinator of the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), Abosede Williams who is also an Alumna of the institution.
In his words, “our focus to begin full operations with MAPOLY CAMPUS RADIO on 99.7 FM by September remains sacrosanct.”
The much-awaited MAPOLY radio has according to the rector been given a license to operate with the 99.7 frequency modulation.
A document shown to our correspondent revealed that the radio has been given licence to operate since May 11 2015.
He blamed the belated take off on crisis that rocked the institution amidst management issues.
Odedina said plans are in top gear to commence operations properly as the licence expires in 2020.
As part of efforts in speeding up the transmission process, the rector set up a committee for the radio headed by a senior lecturer in the Department of Mass Communication, Dr. Sina Aina.
The committee burdened with a four-week deadline which will lapse in September has since been giving the Rector recommendations on a smooth take off.
Earlier this month, Dr. Odedina also paid a visit to the proposed studio to inspect the facilities in place.
