The radio station which was a darling companion to ESUT community and indeed the entire Enugu State has been off-air since November 2019 following a fire incident that engulfed the former office at Independence Layout, Enugu.

These years of off-air indeed affected the information reach of the university community.

However, following the painstaking efforts by the current university management under the headship of the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Aloysius-Michaels Okolie, who did not only expend millions of naira in renovating, restructuring, reequipping and restoring the station with its original frequency but also ensured and assured that the station would be back on air today and would be managed by the Department of Mass Communication.

He has kept to his promise that the station would be back on air before 20^th Convocation Ceremony day.

Fascinatingly, members of the ESUT Monitor team were at the station on Monday to supervise and keep it clean.

The team comprising five students and the three technologists in the department were thrilled over the new look the station acquired and are looking forward to it taking off today.

Speaking after the exercise, the leader of the team, Mrs Agbo Chioma thanked the Vice-Chancellor and his team as well as the HOD of Mass Communication for their efforts in restoring the station.

“I am excited, just like everyone of us here is. This is what we have been longing for. For five year now, the station has been off-air and you know what that means in terms of information sharing in the university.

“I want to specially thank the VC and his team for this record. I will also commend my HOD, Dr Chidi Ezinwa for his wonderful efforts. He is trailblazer. We have missed ESUT radio, no doubt,” she said.
