LAW FM LEADS IN LEGAL LITERACY

In an era where radio continues to evolve beyond music and entertainment, Law FM 103.9 has emerged as a pioneering station with a unique focus, the law.

Established in 2021 and based in Lagos, the station is widely recognised as Nigeria’s first legal-themed radio station, dedicated to bridging the gap between legal knowledge and the everyday Nigerian.

Law FM was founded by Tayo Oyetibo, SAN, a respected legal practitioner and Senior Advocate of Nigeria. The station was conceived as a platform to make the law more understandable and accessible to the general public, offering content that educates listeners on their rights, duties, and the legal frameworks that govern society.

Since its launch, Law FM has curated programmes that address legal and civic issues in relatable terms. The station’s content ranges from legal talk shows and civic education programmes to expert interviews and call-in segments where members of the public can ask legal questions and receive guidance from professionals.

According to industry observers, the station’s emergence reflects a growing need for legal literacy in Nigeria, where many citizens struggle with understanding their rights or navigating legal processes. Law FM positions itself not just as a broadcaster, but as a public education tool that seeks to promote justice, civic awareness, and accountability through radio.

The station broadcasts on 103.9 FM and is strategically located in Lagos, Nigeria’s media and commercial hub. It targets a broad demographic, from professionals and students to traders and artisans, anyone with an interest in understanding how the law affects their everyday lives.

While still relatively new in the media space, Law FM has attracted attention for its focused content and has begun building a reputation as a trusted source for socio-legal information.

With personalities like broadcaster and lawyer Afouda Samuel (Afouda Baba Agbalagba) recently joining its team, the station appears poised to deepen its reach and influence.

As the first of its kind in the country, Law FM 103.9 represents a fresh direction for Nigerian radio, one that prioritises legal education and civic engagement in a society where both are increasingly needed.
