NIGERIA: NADECO INAUGURATES NEW RADIO STATION

The international arm of the National Democratic Coalition
(NADECO) commenced a daily shortwave radio broadcast to Nigeria
on 30 June 1997, reports the Independent Journalism Centre (IJC).
NADECO spokesperson Chief Ralph Obioha said in an interview on Voice
of America (VOA) that NADECO Radio, which broadcasts from the United
States of America, "is intended to champion the cause of democracy and
human rights in Nigeria." The station is being sponsored by the
Movement of Free Nigeria around the world under the auspices of
NADECO, says IJC. According to IJC, NADECO Radio will be on the air
from Monday to Friday at 7 a.m. Nigerian time on 5.070 megahertz and
on 16m tropical Short Wave band.
