“The management has already approved it that the radio station should be back on air. In fact, the fund will be released tomorrow (today) to the vendor so that the work will start tomorrow (today, February 8). By the grace of God, if it works out, it would be ready on our matriculation.

“So when they arrive, we will give you (ESUT Monitor) a definite answer whether it will be in one week or two weeks, but they are coming on Thursday. We are not building new structure. They already have a structure where it can start.” he concluded.

Transmitting on 106.5 Frequency Modulation, the ESUT Radio has been off air for some years now due to the inferno that engulfed the former office in Enugu metropolis.
