Journal of research and development, volume 3, issue 2 (2017), pp. 30-38
"The findings show that community radio stations in Anglophone West African countries are owned and controlled by the community; the community radio in Anglophone West African countries is regulated along the broad guidelines that guide broadcasting in those countries; and community radio is used for various purposes with the central focus on development. The study recommends that Governments should encourage the operation of community radio by granting license to willing communities; avoid undue interference in the operation of the community radio; and big organizations and non-governmental organizations should support community radio financially and logistically and the Nigerian government should commence the licensing of community radio in the country."
