This study discusses the use of radio drama as a tool for sensitizing people on
social issues. The researcher will find out how radio drama is currently used and
come up with suggestions on practical ideas for the use of radio drama to open up
the audience to practical solutions to various happenings around them rather than
theoretic reporting. Radio has picked up as traditional media systems are being
discarded.'
In the African context, media is seen as always right, which is not always the
case. Radio drama, which is fictional, can seem like factual and it is good for the
producer of the drama to inform the audience of the reality of or the lack of it in the
drama.
With the coming of the mobile technology, radio listening has been extended to
everyone who has access to such mobile phones thus radio dramas can infiltrate
society to form opinions on certain ideas.
