Lagos Talks 91.3FM organises Town Hall Meetings

The new program, “Lagos Town Hall meetings” is a quarterly out-of-station event, which serves as a neutral platform to engage in governance and not politics.

This is important because no political leader can perform without the support of the citizenry.

Lagos Town Hall meetings is community-focused and each edition will hold at a different local government area with the aim of addressing the intrinsic needs of the residents of the particular community.

Speaking on the inspiration behind the event, the General Manager, Deji Awokoya says “the new program was instituted based on the belief that development is local and it requires the participation of the government and the governed.”

Citizens need to be involved in the development plan of the nation.

This program, “Town Hall Meetings” further establishes the vision of Lagos Talks, which reflects in the station’s slogan; Join the conversation.

Lagos Talks believes that rather than engage in mere complaints, as citizens, it is important to constructively engage political, religious and community leaders.

The first edition of this quarterly event will hold in May:
