Communication
has over the years, come to play such an important role in the society that it
has come to be
regarded as the very plank upon which learning, cultural exchange, trade and
many other socio and econo-political
relations are hoisted. We have identified radio as our commonest and cheapest
means of
communication, which can reach and permeate all strata of society, in spite of
class, tongue or belief.
With
the goal to promote radio, encourage excellence in the medium and ensure that
radio remains the
first choice for marketers, we present to you Nigeria Radio Awards (NiRA).
With
radio still at the forefront of media sources utilised by many Nigerians to
garner information and
to interact with the world, the Nigeria Radio AwardProject seeks to motivate and recognise radio
stations and organisations to constantly raise the bar in terms of their
performance and general
service optimization, with a firm focus on keeping their audience engaged and
happy, by
instilling in these stations and individuals a sense of healthy competition
that would be geared
towards quality enhancement in their service outputs, whether in terms of News,
Education
or Entertainment.
We
have chosen to carry out this recognition through honouring Nigeria’s
outstanding radio talent,
from in-front-of-the-mic presenters to behind-the-scene producers. By doing so,
we
hope to inspire people wishing to enter this dynamic industry to adequately
prepare
themselves
for the arduous task of quality broadcasting.
This
first edition, as, indeed, other subsequent editions, of the Nigeria Radio Awards shall
aim
at presenting a credible, well-judged, transparent programme that promotes and recognizes excellence in radio, especially, with the objective of ensuring that radio
remains
one of Nigeria’s foremost media choices. Everything shall be about rewarding
those
individuals and stations who combine talent, hard work and skill to ensure that
their
listeners
are compelled to pay attention whenever they are on air.
It’s
our desire to see radio stations produce a more involved, relevant and valuable
content and
the need to understand the consumer and deliver the services. We also feel that
clients
and marketers want more measurability and opportunity to connect with people in
a unique space. Therefore, Nigeria Radio Awards(NiRA) seeks to promote
the idea that
the radio industry needs to continually reinvent and take itself more
seriously.
