The National Assembly through the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS) has established a radio station “Democracy Radio” in Abuja to propagate the activities of the legislature.
The Director General of NILDS, Professor Abubakar Sulaiman, took reporters on tour of facilities at the station located in Asokoro in Abuja ahead of the formal commissioning on Wednesday.
Sulaiman, while answering questions from reporters in one of studios of the Democracy Radio, said a newly created Legislative Centre for Security Analysis was also domiciled at the premises of the Radio station.
He further disclosed that plans are afoot to upgrade NILDS into a full-fledged University.
He noted that the permanent site of the Institute sitting on 8.12 hectares (81,200m2) of land in Piwoyi District along the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Road Abuja, has infrastructural structures and facilities, many of the licensed Private Universities in the country don’t have.
