World Radio Day: Radio is lifeline for education and information – Kumasi residents

As the world marks World Radio Day, residents in Kumasi are sharing their thoughts on the impact of radio on their lives.

Many believe that without radio, the world would be in chaos.

 For them, radio is more than just entertainment; it’s a vital source of education and information.

“Radio educates and informs thousands of people, helping us make informed decisions,” says Ama, a market trader.

She relies on radio to stay updated on current events and learn new skills.

Many Ghanaians, especially in rural areas, depend on radio as their primary source of news and information.

Radio’s impact goes beyond news and current affairs. It’s a powerful tool for education, providing access to information on health, agriculture, and social issues.

“I learned about farming techniques and business management on radio,” says Kwame, a farmer.

 “It’s helped me improve my yields and increase my income.”

In a world where access to information is key, radio bridges the gap, reaching remote areas where other media forms may not.

 Its accessibility and affordability make it an indispensable resource for many. “Radio is our friend; it keeps us informed and connected,” says another resident.

As Ghana celebrates World Radio Day, it’s clear that radio remains a vital part of the country’s media landscape.
