The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has congratulated Nigerian-born broadcaster Richard Edoki, known as Richybongo, on his nomination for Best Newcomer at the National Hospital Radio Awards 2025.

This was contained in a congratulatory message issued by the Commission’s Director of Media, Public Relations, and Protocols Unit, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, in Abuja.

Dabiri-Erewa commended Edoki’s efforts as a shining example of Nigerian excellence in the diaspora while wishing him success at the awards ceremony, set for April 5, 2025, in Leicestershire.

The National Hospital Radio Awards is a yearly event organised by the Hospital Broadcasting Association to honour brilliant contributions to hospital broadcasting across the UK.

Richybongo, the host of African Vibe with Richybongo on the Community & Hospital Broadcasting Network, Cornwall, has been recognised for promoting African culture and fostering diversity and inclusivity through his Sunday evening radio programme.

It noted that the programme’s objective is to promote African heritage while building bridges with the Cornish community.

Edoki worked in Nigeria at Silverbird/Rhythm as a broadcaster before relocating to the UK some three years ago.
