• Ndigbo Unity Forum Demands Igbo Radio for Traders

A pan-Igbo political and socio-cultural group, Ndigbo Unity Forum (NUF), has called for the creation of Igbo radio for Igbo traders across the country.

Mr. Augustine Chukwudum, president of the NUF disclosed this during the forum meeting in Enugu on Tuesday.

Chukwudum said the huge number of Igbo traders across the country necessitate a radio station.

“That is why it is very important that the Federal Government must set up Igbo radio.

“It will go a long way in uniting this country as well as increasing the education and awareness levels of these traders because Igbo’s are progressive in nature.

“We know very well that anywhere Igbos go to they help in developing the area without government’s assistance,’’ he said.

Chukwudum also noted that certain people had been condemning radio stations meant to promote, educate and enlight in indigenous people.

He later said such statements were unfair to indigenous speakers.
