Listeners of FRCN Kaduna national station, have expressed concern over the station’s power disconnection causing it to go off air.
Our Correspondent reports that some of the listeners in Ikara, Zaria, Kaduna and Makarfi expressed disappointment that “for almost two months the station has been completely off air.”
One of them, Musa Ibrahim Kofar Doka said, he was missing the station and called for concerted effort to address the situation.
He noted that, “the station has been playing a vital role in not only propagating government policies and programmes but also in enlightening and educating the citizenry.
Another concerned listener, Hassan Tashar Yari, called on federal government to take decisive step aimed at rehabilitating the station.
According to him “the situation in which the station found itself, is unfortunate,” stressing that this was the first time the station has been off air for a long period in about ten years.
While expressing sadness over the incident Yari called on the Arewa consultative forum and other Northern elders to intervene to save the station from total collapse.
Recalled that about two months ago Kaduna electric distribution company disconnected the station from national grid in both Jaji and kaduna thereby jeopardizing the station operations.
The concerned Listeners also appealed to the federal government through the ministry of information and national orientation to take step toward addressing the lingering problem of power supply for the station.
