After nearly a decade of silence, the airwaves in Ihievbe are once again alive with the sound of local news, information, and entertainment. The reactivation of Ihievbe FM 98.3 is a welcome development for the people of Edo North Senatorial District of Edo State, who have long been denied access to a vital source of information and community engagement.
Governor Okpebholo’s restoration of the Radio Station is a clear demonstration of his administration’s dedication to transparency, accountability, and effective communication. By revitalizing the broadcasting service, he is fulfilling his campaign promise of prioritizing the needs of residents in the area.
The revival of EBS Ihievbe FM 98.3 is expected to have profound impact on the area. The station will provide a platform for local voices to be heard, promoting community engagement and participation. It will also facilitate the dissemination of government programmes, initiatives and achievements, ensuring that residents in the area are informed and empowered to make informed decisions.
Furthermore, the reactivation of the Radio Station will contribute to the preservation and promotion of the rich cultural heritage of the area by showcasing the region’s unique traditions, music, and arts, providing a platform for local talents discovery and development.
The people of Edo North are ecstatic about the revival of Ihievbe FM 98.3, and have praised Governor Okpebholo for his visionary leadership in the State.
