Media professional Okhaifoh has been appointed as the new Programmes Manager of Kids FM, a fast-growing children-focused radio station known for its educational and family-friendly content. The announcement was made by the station’s management, who described the appointment as part of a broader strategy to expand programming and strengthen audience engagement.
In his new role, Okhaifoh will oversee content development, scheduling, and creative direction, ensuring that the station continues to deliver age-appropriate, informative, and entertaining broadcasts for children and young listeners. Management said his experience in youth media and educational broadcasting made him a strong candidate for the position.
Kids FM has built its brand around combining entertainment with learning, featuring storytelling, interactive quizzes, language development segments, and science-based shows designed to stimulate curiosity. Station executives believe Okhaifoh’s leadership will help deepen this mission while introducing innovative programming formats.
Speaking after his appointment, Okhaifoh expressed enthusiasm about shaping content that supports children’s intellectual growth and creativity. He emphasized the importance of media in early childhood development, noting that radio can be a powerful tool for building communication skills, imagination, and positive values.
Industry observers say children’s broadcasting remains an underdeveloped segment in Nigerian media, despite a large youth population. Experts argue that quality programming for children can contribute to literacy improvement, cultural education, and emotional development, especially in households with limited access to structured learning materials.
Okhaifoh is expected to lead collaborations with schools, child development specialists, and educational content creators to enhance the station’s programming depth. Plans are reportedly underway to introduce more interactive segments that allow children to participate through call-ins, storytelling contests, and educational challenges.
The station also aims to expand its digital presence under his leadership, making content available through podcasts and streaming platforms so that families can access programs beyond traditional radio airtime.
Management noted that safeguarding children remains a top priority, with strict editorial policies guiding content selection and presentation. Okhaifoh’s appointment, they said, reflects a commitment to responsible broadcasting that balances fun with developmental value.
With the new leadership in place, Kids FM hopes to strengthen its reputation as a trusted platform for young audiences and their families, while contributing meaningfully to children’s education through media.
