Omotoso urges Lagos Traffic Radio to sustain excellence after award

Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, has urged Lagos Traffic Radio 96.1 FM to sustain its performance and pursue greater achievements following its emergence as the Best Radio Station in Lagos at the Nigerian Broadcasters Merit Awards.

Omotoso gave the charge when the station’s general manager, Tayo Akanle, presented the award to him in appreciation of the support received from the Lagos State Government.

Congratulating the management and staff, the commissioner attributed the recognition to effective leadership, diligence, integrity and teamwork, noting that the achievement reflected the collective efforts of the station’s workforce.

“What this has done is not just pronouncing it and saying that you are the best, but it is a testimony to the kind of leadership that you have provided as a GM in the place. It is a testimony to the fact that you have done your job diligently. You have done your job with wisdom. You have done your job with integrity,” he said.

Omotoso urged the station not to become complacent, stressing that sustaining excellence required greater commitment and continuous improvement. He added that the station had more milestones to attain and awards to win.

“For every achievement that you make, you will have to double your efforts so that people can know that indeed what you have been able to achieve is not a fluke,” he said.

Earlier, Akanle described the award as a significant milestone, noting that the station had not received such recognition in its 14 years of operation. He said the honour demonstrated its consistency in fulfilling its mandate to Lagos residents.

“The fact that such a reputable body could give us that recognition shows that we know what we are doing. We are being consistent in our deliveries; we are being consistent with all the mandates that we are giving the people of Lagos,” Akanle said, while appreciating Omotoso and other stakeholders for their support.
