But it’s not just a regular FM radio listening tool. With it, you can access over 400 Nigerian radio stations broadcasting from all over the country, and beyond. That number includes the best-known talk, music, and sports radio stations in Nigeria. Whether you’re looking for a programming set in Lagos or the FCT, Kano or Rivers State, Anambra or Jigawa, you’ll find something worth listening to.

The app allows Nigerians to listen to news from far-off regions of the country, tune in to live church services, enjoy live sports coverage, listen to African and global music, and choose from an assortment of programs.

There are more than two-dozen online-only radio stations captured on the NigRadio App. Religious broadcasters are present too, as are language podcasts and stations operating on the AM frequency. The app is run by NigRadio, an organization that tracks radio stations operating across Nigeria and provides people across the world—especially the Nigerian diaspora –with a means of listening to these stations. NigRadio also has a website on which visitors can also access them. The NigRadio App is available for download on the Google Play store. Featured Image Source: Nigradio
