…as management pledges to promote historical values of Ekiti people
In the history of radio broadcasting service in Ekiti state since its creation on October 1, 1996, both government and private-owned radio stations have failed to break the jinx of delivering 24 hours broadcasting service in the state.
However, Midas Radio 90.5 FM made a bold statement of delivering the first 24 hours radio station in the state, commencing full transmission on the 1st of January 2024.
Midas Radio 90.5 FM, which is located at 15 – 19, Midas Avenue, University road, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, is owned by an indigene of the State, and Ikoro Ekiti born business mogul, Mr. Kayode Olusemire.
The brand is borne out of the genuine desire of the principal to continue to invest in his home state in order to empower and generate more employment for people.
The station is also managed by an indigene of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayobami Olugbenga-Wyse, with almost two decades of media and broadcasting experience under his belt.
