The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) has donated broadcast equipment to the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) to boost operations at NYSC Radio 88.3 FM, Abuja.
The items, which were presented by the Director of the NDDC Liaison Office in Abuja, Mary Nwaeke, during a brief ceremony at the station within the NYSC National Directorate Headquarters, include a 2-kilowatt FM transmitter and an inverter system powered by a lithium battery to ensure steady power supply.
Beyond the equipment, the Commission also funded a complete overhaul of the station’s wiring to eliminate audio interference and improve sound quality. It further
supported the revitalisation of its online presence on “Radio Garden,” thereby widening its reach to international listeners.
Speaking on behalf of the NDDC Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Samuel Ogbuku, Mrs. Nwaeke said the intervention reflects the Commission’s commitment to youth development and national growth.
The Director affirmed that supporting young Nigerians, particularly those on national service, remains a key part of the Commission’s mandate.
She also underscored the vital role of the media in nation-building through information dissemination, education and social mobilisation, assuring that the NDDC would sustain its partnership with the NYSC.
Receiving the equipment on behalf of the NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, the Director of the NYSC Media, Mr. Emeka Mgbemena, expressed appreciation to the Commission for the gesture.
Mgbemena described the NDDC as a responsive and dependable partner, adding that the intervention would greatly enhance the station’s output and operational efficiency.
Mrs. Nwaeke was later hosted on the station, where she shared perspectives on youth development, the media, and the Commission’s broader role in advancing national initiatives.
The donation is expected to significantly strengthen the technical capacity and broadcast reach of NYSC Radio, and further position it as a platform for youth-driven engagement and development.
