Nigerian Union of Pensioners (NUP), Oyo State Chapter, to Launch the first “Pensioners Radio Station” in Africa

Nigerian Union of Pensioners (NUP), Oyo State chapter, has disclosed that its radio station to be called “Pensioners Radio” would be commissioned in September by Governor Seyi Makinde.

The union’s secretary, Comrade Abatan, disclosed this recently when the management of Oyo State Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism, led by its Permanent Secretary, Dr. Olanrewaju, paid a visit to the Pensioners’ House at Jericho, Ibadan, to witness the test transmission of the radio station.

The radio station when launched will be the first of its kind in Africa and it would focus on broadcast of issues relating to the welfare of pensioners in the state among other issues that affect the generality of people as well as the growth of the society..

He said the feat was achievable because of the relative peace, financial empowerment and confidence that the new administration of Governor Seyi Makinde had restored back to workers in Oyo State, stressing that the union built its edifice, the radio station, an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) centre and pensioners’ clinic from the meager amount that members contributed from their monthly pensions.
