The management of Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete has intensified efforts to partner Royal FM Ilorin, to train students in broadcasting.

This was made known when founder of the radio station Gbenga Adebayo visited the Vice Chancellor of KWASU, Prof. Mustapha Akanbi.

The VC  noted that with the National Universities Commission (NUC) ranking  of KWASU as the fastest-growing state-owned university in the country, the institution is a fertile ground for investors seeking huge  returns on their investments.

The VC said  the university  was open to  investors and private individuals who are willing to support and add value to the university through funding projects, providing endowments and grants.

Adebayo noted that his  organisation was ready to work with KWASU to produce employable graduates with marketable skills relevant to  the 21st century economy.

He said the partnership would commence with 10 students  who would be trained in practical radio broadcast for six months,while other students  follow later.

Adebayo also said his organisation was willing to extend training opportunities to KWASU students in Agri-Business, Health and Telecommunication with emphasis on call centre services.

A committee  headed by the Director of Centre for Wellness and Creative Arts Therapy of the institution, Dr Khadijah Toyin Musah, was raised to enhance  the partnership between the university and and the Radio station.
