KADUNA

Current status: The archdiocese of Kaduna is part of the region where the jihadist terrorist organisation Boko Haram operates. Catholic priests often fall victim to this group. In addition to this great plague, there are also problems within the various ethnic groups. Radio Maria already has the FM license. The archbishop wants Radio Maria to be up and running as soon as possible. For this reason, he has already granted use of a building for the studios and has appointed a priest director, who has taken part in the training course at the World Family of Radio Maria headquarters in Erba. The project’s feasibility study has already been developed by the World Family technical staff together with a civil engineer.

Project: An estimated 591,000 Catholics, i.e., about 24.4% of the population, are waiting for Radio Maria to start broadcasting. Thanks to the donations already received, the renovation works of the headquarters are going ahead. The technical equipment has been purchased and will be shipped shortly. Currently, the amount necessary to install the equipment and for initial costs is 37,500 Euros. Radio Maria will give a tremendous contribution to the ministry of Kaduna and will be a very important means for educating Catholics, Muslims, ethnic groups, etc., on peace. Radio Maria will also be a precious jewel, broadcasting in the Hausa language, the local language, for about 50 million of people.
