Eko Radio Party, an event yearly organised by Eko FM, has been suspended.
Disclosing this development, the chairman of the event’s planning committee, Betiku Oluwatobi Austin a.k.a DJ Turbo D said the event was suspended due to the raging COVID-19 disease, and until the infectious disease is no more, Eko Radio Party will not be held.
His words: “Eko Radio Party would not hold this year due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. To control the pandemic, the government issued a mandatory lockdown which has set some businesses and plans but on the positive side, we have been able to control the pandemic to a large extent in Nigeria. Social Distancing is a must at this time and so a gathering of a lot of people would be putting people at risk of contracting or spreading the virus.”
“Last year we had a shutdown show at the Eko Fm Premises with about 1000 radio listeners, other media houses, and supporting brands from all parts of Nigeria. Some of the activities that night includes several indoor games, non-stop music, comedies, eating and drinking, and dancing.
“To everyone that played a part in the success of last year’s Dj’s music Fest, most especially my oga (sic) at the Top General manager Mrs. Ayo Shotonwa, I say thank you all. Next year will be a Great One. I Pray for Peace in the land, we shall win this Amen. Do not forget to wash your hands, always use your mask, and practice social distancing. Thank you all.”
