ABSTRACT
This study was an effort to
investigate the role of radio in the campaign for family planning and child
spacing in Nigeria,
with particular focus on Enugu
state. The survey research method was used. The work was anchored on
agenda-setting theory. A total of400 copes of questionnaires were distributed,
and the gathered data were analyzed using percentage and frequency method. The
findings of the study show that there are programmes designed to sensitize the
people on the importance of family planning.
Again, the study showed that FRCN
radio stations encounter problems such as language usage in programme packaging
for rural people, and that adequate emphasis is not place on family planning
sensitization on radio. The study therefore recommends as follows Government,
NGOs and other well meaning individuals should encourage (through the radio)
the adoption of effective family planning method the peculations of rural
communities in Nigeria in terms of language, norms, factors should be
considered in the design of family planning programmes on radio media; the need
for further survey in other rural settings across Nigeria as a way of
generating a more representative empirical statistics on the role of the radio
in the provision of family planning information.
