Background of the Study
Radio advertising has long been a potent tool for reaching a broad audience, especially in rural areas where access to the internet and other media may be limited. In Auyo LGA, Jigawa State, literacy campaigns are critical for improving education and reducing illiteracy rates. Radio advertising provides a platform for disseminating information about literacy programs, offering an affordable and accessible medium for promoting education.
According to Yakubu and Haruna (2023), radio advertising plays a vital role in spreading awareness about public education initiatives, particularly in areas where formal educational infrastructure may be lacking. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of radio advertising in boosting awareness of literacy campaigns in Auyo LGA.

Despite efforts to improve literacy rates in Auyo LGA, illiteracy remains a significant challenge. Traditional advertising methods have not sufficiently reached the target audience, especially in rural areas with limited literacy skills and access to other forms of media.

However, the effectiveness of radio advertising in this context is not well understood.
