Ramadan: We Share Part Of Tafsir Broadcast Proceeds With Our Listeners, Says Rock FM

In the spirit of giving during the Ramadan season, the Rock FM Ramadan Quiz Programme Committee said the Taraba State-based private radio station shared proceeds from sponsored Ramadan Tafsir programmes with its listeners.

The Coordinator, Rock FM Ramadan Quiz Programme Committee, Mallam Ahmad Umar Gassol, while speaking in Jalingo, the State capital, said over 700 listeners benefited from last year’s Ramadan Islamic program on the station.

Umar Gassol said that the radio station runs a phone-in Ramadan Quiz competition, which was used to give back to its Muslim listeners.

He highlighted that over 700 callers received packages of gift items with over N600,000 in cash prizes given to about 200 persons who participated in the Islamic Quiz competition.

“From the payments for sponsored Ramadan Tafsir programmes in 2023 on our station, the management of Rock FM Jalingo under the leadership of our CEO, Oloye Ayodele Samuel, gave some part of the revenue to be given out to our listeners who participated in our Ramadan Quiz program, we also got some few individuals to support the program.
