We must resolve to join the rest of the world in development to enable better living conditions for our people.
Social change can be achieved when people band together and form organisations to focus their collective power. It’s within our power to advance the change we need. We are at a critical point, where we need to swim or sink. Our fate is in our hands. And the time is now. He who waits for dead men’s shoes is in danger of going barefoot! It is this belief that inspires us.
Townhall Radio platform is development solution-oriented. We are committed to interrogating viable solutions to our development challenges. We advocate for a basic shift in mindset that is necessary to achieve the change we need. We are also committed to empowering the people and giving a voice to the voiceless. We will encourage proactive social intervention actions to assist those in need.
If you share similar aspirations, it is our desire that you join and support us in this effort. As a collective, we need to reset our development trajectory. We need to radically improve our living conditions. And to offer our children and future generations better opportunities, equipped to compete with the rest of the world. We join our voice to that of Rev. Ralph Abernathy – “If you see a good fight, get in it. And fight to win it.” We hope that you find value here. And if you do, endeavour to share with others. Together, we are stronger!
Welcome and thank you for visiting!

Our
mission
To sensitise, mobilise and galvanise for constructive social change in Nigeria
We aim to provide a proactive platform for informed progressive minds to critically analyse issues confronting the Nigerians and peoples of Sub-Sahara Africa with the view to articulating and documenting viable solutions to improve the living conditions and well-being of all.
Focus on State
To provide a platform for refining and sharing valuable ideas to reinvent high-quality leadership and good governance culture at all levels of government in Nigeria/ Sub-Sahara Africa.
Focus on Individual
disseminate critical knowledge and tools that enable a shift toward a desirable social change mindset, empowering individuals to not only enhance their potential but have the power to advance the change we need and desire for the overall well-being of society.
Focus on Community
To showcase and analyse local economic development best practices around the world and provide insights on how best to adapt and leverage such practices to the Nigerian/ Sub-Sahara African environment for the benefit of the people and society.
Social Advocacy
To give voice to the voiceless in Nigeria. Townhall Radio will pursue an advocacy agenda to offer intervention assistance (where possible) on severe cases of oppression, abuse, and denial of basic rights of especially the weakest members of our society.
Our
Core Areas of Focus
Our core areas of focus area Leadership & Governance, Local Economic & Community Development, Individual Empowerment & Development and Giving Voice Advocacy Campaign. See more details below.
Leadership and Governance
The culture of corruption and abysmal leadership constitute the significant problems that have crippled the current Nigerian society. Related to these issues is the ongoing Nigerian Question debate. There is a strong contention that a fundamental restructuring of the Nigerian State is necessary to create a more enabling environment for more accelerated national development. Furthermore, monumental post-independence governance and leadership failures, brazen corruption, looting of the national treasury and resource mismanagement have resulted in the current situation where despite its huge natural resource base, Nigeria currently records the highest incidence of extreme poverty in the world. The Nigerian government is increasingly unable to provide or guarantee the security of lives and property in any part of the country. Related to this is the docile followership that has tolerated successive mediocre governments over the years. Nigerians seem to have developed an infinite capacity to condone impossible excesses of corrupt public office holders. This situation is unacceptable and underscores the urgent need for drastic change. Townhall Radio would seek to provide insights on how best to develop institutional structures and systems that will ensure better governance at all levels.
Individual Empowerment & Development
We believe that the quality of the collective is rooted in the quality of the individual. We cannot significantly improve the quality of society without improving the quality of the individuals that make up society. No nation can begin to reach its potential without individuals being aware of their possibilities. Galvanising for social change necessarily requires a change in the mindset of critical mass. It requires individuals to grow and sharpen their development mindset towards the change they desire. Townhall Radio intends to promote a shift towards a “social change-oriented mindset” development for the critical mass of our people. We would lead talk shows that distil an extensive body of information and knowledge in the areas of mindset and personal growth and their linkages with developing a proactive followership culture that demands more from those in leadership.
Local Economic & Community Development
Critical to overall social and economic development in Nigeria is the underlying challenges of stimulating local economic and community development at the local level. Unfortunately, in Nigeria, poor leadership and governance culture and its resultant decades of resource mismanagement have led to systemic failures and dysfunction of institutions and infrastructures that should have enabled economic development at the local level. Thus, exacerbating under-productivity at the local community level and under-performance of the local economy. Townhall Radio intends to contribute towards the reversal of this trend by promoting re-directing productive energies to boost local and community economic development. We will lead solution-driven talk shows to provide insights into how local economy and community development can be actively enabled and supported in different sectors. Such programmes would highlight best practices and successful experiences in other places that are relevant to the Nigerian
Giving Voice Advocacy Campaign
Often an environment such as Nigeria that is rife with corruption, endemic poverty, social exclusion, discrimination, ethnic prejudice, marked inequality, lack of institutional protection, poor justice, and law and order delivery tends to encourage social injustice. As a result, flagrant abuse of power, denial of basic rights of individuals, intimidation and cultural impunity where the strong readily preys on the weak are all too common. Our radio platform would proactively seek to give voice to those who suffer injustice. It would seek to expose and shine a light on reported cases from Nigerians. It would also encourage intervention assistance to victims (where possible).
