A new privately-owned radio station, Kings FM 87.9, has been inaugurated in Iragbiji, Boripe Local Government Area of Osun State, with a call to adhere strictly to National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) regulations and promote Yoruba language and culture.

The commissioning, held on Thursday, was attended by Ekiti State Governor Abiodun Oyebanji, represented by Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Habibat Adubiaro; the Aragbiji of Iragbiji, Oba Abdul-Rasheed Olabomi; the Ogunsua of Modakeke, Oba Joseph Toriola; the station’s Chief Executive Officer, Barrister Abimbola Amusan; and the CEO of Vesti fintech hub, Mr. Olusola Amusan.

Governor Oyebanji commended the initiative, describing it as a testament to the power of private enterprise in complementing governmental efforts towards community development and information dissemination. He urged the management to ensure full compliance with NBC guidelines.

Oba Olabomi expressed delight at the establishment of the first radio station in Iragbiji, charging its workforce to uphold broadcasting ethics and prioritise the promotion of Yoruba culture and the pure use of the language.

“I want to charge those who will be running it that the promotion of Yoruba culture is very key and our language, without any mixture, should be encouraged,” the monarch stated.

Similarly, Oba Toriola urged the station to focus on developmental news that promotes peace, technology, and agriculture while also working to preserve the Yoruba language, which he said is facing extinction.

In his remarks, Barrister Amusan described the launch as the fulfilment of a decade-old vision. He assured that the station would operate ethically and fully comply with NBC standards when it commences full transmission in the coming weeks.

The event was seen as a milestone for Iragbiji, with traditional rulers and dignitaries noting its potential to strengthen cultural heritage, enhance communication, and foster unity within the community.
