Nigeria’s urban-pidgin radio station, Yanga FM, has set a new precedent by becoming the first radio station in the country to award a loyal listener with ₦1 million.

The prize was part of the Yanga FM One Million Giveaway Campaign, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at celebrating audience loyalty and enhancing listener engagement.

The lucky winner, Emedoh Okwunna Alloysius, secured the prize by correctly answering questions about Yanga FM’s programmes. His win was announced live on ‘The Wetin Dey Show’.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Alloysius said he plans to invest the money in a business venture, though the specific area is yet to be decided.

The giveaway also marked a first for Yanga FM, as listener phone calls were taken live on air, adding to the thrill of the historic event.
