Efforts are underway to launch a broadcasting network that would reflect the correct situations and happenings in African society.

This was made known by some young African innovators who saw the need to tell the African story the way it is. They’re embarking on this project by creating an impartial television station which is named Broadcasting Network of Africa.

The Founder, Olaniran Monsur Afolabi said, “until the lion learns to write, every story would justify the hunter. This ingenious development is long overdue. There has been a long misrepresentation of what Africa is about. Going by the western media, Africa is a war ravaging, poverty-stricken, and backward society. However, this is far from the truth. We are eager to tell the true narrative”.

The Co-Founder, Salaudeen Abdul remarked, “storytelling is deep-rooted in the African culture. It’s time to curate and tell the African experience the way it is. All is set for this; the world should anticipate this great project”.

Olaide Daramola who completes the trio of founders added, “Broadcasting Network of Africa is a fulfillment of a generation task with its mission being to give an impartial and true narrative of Africa. We are 24-hour broadcasting network and we’re going to curate the African experience by providing news, sports, entertainment, wildlife documentaries, and kids programs”.
