Radio Now is set to launch its Radio Now Specials ‘Our Common Thread’.
Gatekeepers News reports that Radio Now (95.3FM), a news service dedicated to providing factual, unbiased, and Nigerian-focused news, is set to launch its Radio Now Specials program.
The first edition of the program which is slated to air at 11 am on Friday, June 18, 2021, will be streamed live on Radio Now 95.3 FM, Zoom and YouTube.
Also, the recorded version will be subsequently aired on the network service of the Nigerian Television Authority.
Radio Now Specials aims to create and curate useful interactions that inspire citizens to act better.
The inaugural edition in this series – “Our Common Thread” is focused on governance and nationalism and how spirituality can underpin progress. The pioneering edition will feature leaders from different ethnic, cultural, professional, and religious backgrounds.
The programme will help create closer bonds between Nigerians regardless of their faiths or cultures and also help everyone explore and find that place of their collective humanity from which citizens can build a society that is representative of all, and is equitable and just.
The secondary aim is to proffer tangible solutions to modern-day issues, which will ultimately improve the lives of countless people of colour, situated all over the world.
The programme with a mandate to audit Nigeria’s history, minds, and philosophies, will find the common thread, and measure this against the present day with hopes to provide an opportunity for Nigerians to challenge the existing status quo across various areas – and by doing so, proffer solutions that will foster progress and open-mindedness.
This edition of Our Common Thread which is a ninety-minute programme will feature the Executive Director and Chief Curator for The Emergence Network, Dr Bayo Akomolafe.
Akomolafe is globally renowned for his take on global crises, civic action, and social change – issues which he examines from an indigenous lens.
“These times are urgent; let us slow down.” – Bayo Akomolafe
This collaborative project features interaction between the invited speaker, the hosts and the audience members, and will be concluded with a Q&A session, featuring questions from the virtual audience in attendance.
