Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Radio remains a significant medium for reaching rural communities, especially in areas with limited internet access and low literacy levels. In Yola South Local Government Area, radio jingles have become a popular method for promoting events such as agricultural fairs, cultural festivals, and health awareness campaigns. These short, catchy audio messages are tailored to engage the local audience by incorporating indigenous languages, culturally relevant themes, and simple messages. While radio jingles offer cost-effective outreach and extensive coverage, their effectiveness depends on factors such as frequency of airing, message clarity, and cultural relevance. This study aims to evaluate the role of radio jingles in promoting rural events, considering both their strengths and the challenges they face in influencing attendance and awareness.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the widespread use of radio jingles in rural event promotion, their impact on audience engagement and attendance remains underexplored in Yola South LGA. Many events experience low turnout despite extensive radio campaigns, raising questions about the effectiveness of these jingles in delivering their intended message. Factors such as poor timing, lack of cultural alignment, and inadequate feedback mechanisms may contribute to this gap. This study seeks to assess the effectiveness of radio jingles as a promotional tool and identify ways to optimize their use for rural event promotion.
