on 12 June

ORIGINATOR: Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), New York

Nigeria's newest alternative radio station will begin its short
wave transmission at 7:00 hours (local time) on 12 June 1996, with
a broadcast by National Democratic Coalition of Nigeria (NADECO)
head, Chief Anthony Eromosele Enahoro. During the afternoon, Nobel
laureate Professor Wole Soyinka will field questions in an
interview from 16:00 hours to 16:30 hours.

Radio Democrat International will broadcast in Nigeria between
7:00 hours and 7:30 hours on 11,900 kilohertz in the 25 metre band
in the short wave frequency. The afternoon broadcast, between

The radio station, which plans to program information about

was created by a Nigerian exile group named the National
Liberation Council. Radio Democrat International is a separate

Lagos metropolitan area for the past twelve months.
