The General Manager, Lagos Traffic Radio, Tayo Akanle has expressed his appreciation to the Public Affairs Officer, US Consulate General Lagos, Russell Brooks for his commendation and support to the state-owned radio station.
Akanle stated this while receiving a team on a courtesy visit from the
consulate led by Mr. Brooks, adding that the visit was a privilege and
testimonial to the fact that the station is performing creditably well among
the numerous radio broadcast stations in Lagos State.
While urging the U.S. Consulate to assist with capacity building programmes
that would help improve the business process of delivering on the mandate of
providing traffic information on all modes of transportation in the State, he
stressed that the station had introduced programmes geared towards decongesting
Lagos roads and boosting other modes of transportation, including the
waterways.
Earlier, the Public Affairs Officer, US Consulate General Lagos, Russell Brooks
commended the Lagos Traffic Radio 96.1 FM for being a leading Station in
providing accurate and timely travel information for the teeming population in
Lagos State.
He said the Station’s consistency in bringing adequate traffic information to
the public is informative and educative, especially to those living and working
in a cosmopolitan city like Lagos that is frequently prone to traffic
congestion.
The team noted that the radio station is one of the best in Africa which ensures
all Lagosians commute through different modes of transportation in the State as
prescribed by the State government’s intermodal transport policy.
Brooks expressed the US Consulate’s readiness to partner with Lagos Traffic
Radio, as the synergy will bring about efficiency and improvement in its
operations.
