Sa’in Kilgori and former three-time Sokoto State Commissioner of Health, Works and Agriculture, Dr Muhammad Jabbi Kilgori, has commended the students and staff of Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUS) for the outstanding performance of its Campus FM Radio station, which marks its first anniversary this weekend.

 

Speaking after viewing a 10-minute documentary produced to commemorate the station’s one year of broadcast, Kilgori urged student journalists and broadcasters to uphold professionalism, factual reporting, balanced storytelling, and responsible journalism.

 

He called on residents of the station’s host communities to encourage their children to study Mass Communication, noting that the world is now largely driven by media and various forms of communication.

 

Kilgori, who is a senior counsellor in the Sokoto Sultanate Council and one of the 11 kingmakers of the Caliphate, also expressed satisfaction with the accreditation of the Mass Communication degree programme at UDUS – a development long awaited by citizens.

 

The Head of the Department of Mass Communication, Dr Abubakar Mijinyawa, narrated the department’s challenging journey to secure the licence from the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) and begin transmission one year ago.

 

He said the department currently has about 200 students and 12 academic staff comprising tenure-track, adjunct and visiting lecturers.

 

The Campus Radio, run entirely by students of Mass Communication, broadcasts 10 hours of news and programmes daily to communities including Dundaye, Kwalkwalawa, Gomburawa, parts of Sokoto North, Kware and Wamakko LGAs, and the UDUS community.

 

Also present at the event was a former Director-General of the NBC, ex-Commissioner of Information in Sokoto State, and the Kogunan Sokoto, Dr Danladi Bako.
