The Broadcasting Service of Ekiti State (BSES) Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Ekiti State Council has congratulated the management and staff of the corporation on its emergence as the Best Radio Station in Ekiti State for 2026.
The award, presented by the Year of Merit Awards for Foremost Achievers (YOMAFA) at a ceremony in Lagos, recognised BSES for its contributions to broadcasting, public enlightenment, entertainment, cultural promotion and community development.
In a statement jointly signed by the Chairman of the NUJ BSES Chapel, Comrade Kelechi David and the Secretary, Comrade Adedayo Adeleye, the Chapel described the recognition as a testament to the dedication and professionalism of the management and staff of the corporation.
The chapel also commended Governor Biodun Oyebanji for his support for BSES, particularly the connection of the corporation to the national grid and the provision of an Independent Power Project (IPP), which it said had helped address some of the station’s electricity challenges, improve broadcast stability and enhance productivity.
While celebrating the achievement, the NUJ BSES Chapel appealed to the state government to further strengthen the corporation by employing more personnel, particularly for the News Department.
It also called for the provision of modern broadcasting equipment and operational vehicles to enhance news gathering, coverage and the overall productivity of the station.
The union pledged its continued commitment to professional ethics and the delivery of credible, accurate and timely information to the people of Ekiti State.
