Receiving the management of OPD, the General Manager of Lagos Traffic Radio, Mr. Tayo Akanle, said the station, through its services, is unique and reliable when it comes to traffic news broadcast to listeners in the State and beyond.
In his words: “The radio station has become a darling of motorists and road users because of the reliability of its traffic news, professionalism and timely dissemination of road news to the residents and visitors to the State alike”.
He assured the Office of the Public Defender of the radio station’s readiness to support its efforts to become more visible in the public space and in the delivery of its statutory responsibility.
The visit was in continuation of OPD management’s efforts to get more media coverage for its activities and enlightenment of the grassroots people in the State.
