BBC on FM throughout Nigeria

    ABIDJAN

    BBC World Service programmes in English and Hausa will be available on FM throughout Nigeria for the very first time, just ahead of Saturday’s presidential elections. According to a BBC press release issued today, key daily current affairs programmes as well as three daily transmissions in Hausa will be relayed by more than 30 state broadcasters in Nigeria.

    “This new partnership exemplifies Nigeria’s moves towards more open communications and democracy,” said Barry Langridge, the BBC’s World Service regional head for Africa.
