Radio is undoubtedly the cheapest and easiest access to get information of what is happening around you. Interestingly, both illiterates and educated, poor and wealthy can use it for information gathering unlike Television which some very poor people can't afford or Newspaper that only the educated can read.
The 2017 version of world radio day is captioned "Radio is you". It simply shows that we can't do without radio most times. No wonder many smartphone producers see it as one of the most important feature of a phone by including FM radio. As a matter of fact, i can't use a phone without support for FM Radio. That's me. I prefer listening to radio with my phone than listening to downloaded music on the phone.
Radio has been around in Nigeria as far back as 1950. In fact, In April 1950, the RDS became the Nigerian Broadcasting Service and introduced radio stations in Lagos, Kaduna, Enugu, Ibadan, and Kano. This service was reorganized into the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) on April 1, 1957, by act of parliament.
Having said that, let's take a look at the comprehensive list of radio stations in Nigeria organized by region with groupings for international broadcasters and Internet radio according to Wikipedia.
