Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Rural electrification is a critical component of development, particularly in rural areas where access to electricity remains limited. In Takai Local Government Area (LGA), Kano State, rural electrification has been a key issue for community development, as access to electricity enhances educational opportunities, health services, and economic activities. Radio, as a widely accessible medium, plays a significant role in raising awareness about the importance of rural electrification and the available programs and initiatives. By broadcasting information on government policies, projects, and the benefits of electricity, radio stations help to inform and mobilize rural communities toward greater participation in electrification efforts (Usman & Bello, 2023; Gambo & Ibrahim, 2024). This study explores the influence of radio in raising awareness about rural electrification in Takai LGA, examining the role of radio broadcasts in informing, educating, and engaging local populations on this critical issue.
1.2 Statement of the Problem

This study aims to assess the influence of radio in promoting awareness of rural electrification in Takai LGA.
