The Federal Government has urged all radio stations in Nigeria to use their platforms to create awareness about climate change and its impact on the country.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, stated this in a statement earlier today in celebration of World Radio Day.
He challenged radio stations to collaborate with other organisations and experts in the field of climate change to provide accurate and reliable information to listeners through interviews with scientists, environmentalists, and policymakers to enhance understanding of the issue and work towards finding sustainable solutions in line with President Bola Ahamed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
While congratulating UNESCO on this initiative, Idris wants the power of radio to be fully harnessed to make a difference and protect the planet for future generations.
