JOS

Current status: The Archdiocese of Jos includes approximately 396,062 Catholics out of a total population of about 1,770,964. The percentage of Catholics is therefore 22.4%. The archbishop has made a building available to Radio Maria and has promised to appoint a full-time priest director. The FM license has already been acquired.

Project: Activating the Radio Maria license in the archdiocese of Jos will bring great joy to the Catholic faithful in this part of the country, which is very close to Abuja, the capital, where Radio Maria has been operational for a year. The people of Jos, thanks to many testimonies, already know about the beauty of the Radio Maria project. This is a common experience in Africa: when the Radio Maria frequency is activated in a diocese, after a very short time, the neighbouring dioceses start asking for the radio of Our Lady. Total cost of the project: 267,500 Euros for refurbishing the offices, purchasing and shipping radio equipment and covering initial costs.
