Re: [Swprograms] Some Vo Nigeria English programmes

["Mauno Ritola" <Mauno.Ritola@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I asked them and here's the late reply:

... In answer to Mr. Walker's inquiry, Time For Highlife is (still) being 
broadcast on Wednesday 11.30 GMT and Saturday 13.30. ... Mike Oyesiji the 
presenter is a 73 year old veteran. He was honored earlier today along with 
VON athletes who won medals (and emerged first runners-up overall) at the 
recently held Nigeria Union of Journalists Media Games in Lagos. Mr. Oyesiji 
also presents Musical Heritage, a programme of Nigerian and African 
traditional/folk music. It's broadcast on Mondays at 19.15 GMT on 15120 KHz 
19m band, and on Sunday 14.30, Friday 11.30GMT  on 7255 KHz.
I hope the information will be useful to Scott Walker and other friends."

73, Mauno
