Perhaps, the expectation of ESUT community to listen, once again, to their darling and most authoritative radio station in South East was left hanging when the expected return on air of the ESUT Radio before February 23, was not forthcoming.  

ESUT management had assured that the radio station which has been off air for a period of time would be restored before 2024 Matriculation date.

Speaking at the Orientation Programme for fresh students on Wednesday, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Aloysius-Michaels Okolie offered explanation on the delay.

“ESUT radio is supposed to be launched before matriculation; the target we gave the contractor and the vendor was to finish before matriculation. We have paid 70 percent fund of ESUT radio which will be installed at the last floor of the Afrihub building we recently acquired,” the VC said.

He appealed to the University community for additional time adding that the radio station will be back on air shortly after the matriculation.

“One thing we can assure you is that within the next one week, you people will have the opportunity to go there for interviews, anchoring in a programme, and also telling the world about ESUT.”

Transmitting on 106.5 FM, the ESUT Radio has been off air following inferno that engulfed the former office in Enugu town.
