Background of the Study
Radio has long been recognized as an important tool for promoting education and literacy, especially in regions where access to formal education is limited. In Nguru Local Government Area (LGA), Yobe State, radio has become a key medium for disseminating educational content, particularly for women, who often face cultural and logistical barriers to accessing education (Adamu & Ibrahim, 2023). Educational radio programs designed specifically for women are increasingly being used to teach basic literacy skills, numeracy, and other essential knowledge that can empower women and improve their socio-economic status. These programs are especially important in rural areas, where radio is one of the most accessible media platforms. This study seeks to explore the impact of radio programs on enhancing literacy among women in Nguru LGA, focusing on how these programs contribute to women's educational empowerment.

Women in this region often encounter educational disadvantages due to cultural norms, gender disparities, and limited access to schools. Although radio programs have been implemented to enhance literacy, the effectiveness of these programs in empowering women and improving their literacy levels has not been adequately studied. This research seeks to explore whether radio programs can successfully enhance literacy among women in Nguru LGA, and what factors contribute to their effectiveness.
