Abstract
This study examined listeners' perception of the credibility, relevance and contribution of
the Imojuto Owo Ara Ilu radio programme to accountability in governance in Kwara
State. The Perception Theory was anchored as the theoretical framework while a
quantitative design was adopted through survey method. Data were collected from 400
listeners selected through purposive, stratified and accidental sampling techniques across
Ilorin West, Ilorin East and Ilorin South Local Government Areas. Findings revealed that
listeners perceived the programme as highly credible and relevant (Grand Mean = 3.25,
SD = 0.79), with the majority of respondents agreed that the programme provides
credible governance information, discusses governance issues objectively and promotes
public interest in governance. The study also found that respondents perceived the
programme as making significant contributions to accountability in governance (Grand
Mean = 3.24, SD = 0.76), with majority agreed that the programme increases public
awareness of government responsibilities and helps citizens monitor public projects and
government spending. However, the study concluded that the Imojuto Owo Ara Ilu
programme serves as a credible platform for promoting accountability and strengthening
public engagement with governance issues in Kwara State. Thus, the study recommended
that programme producers deepen investigative governance content, maintain editorial
independence and expand audience participation through interactive communication
channels.
