Several key players in various sectors of Ghana’s economy will be on the Hangout to pose questions to Dr. Bawumia. Questions can however be sent ahead of time to info@citifmonline.com.
According to an aide to Dr. Bawumia, the seasoned economist agreed to participate in this first ever initiative by Citi FM because of his belief in the power of technology and how, if harnessed properly, could be a major driving force for the development of Ghana.
The Google Hangouts on Air platform was launched in Ghana last week and Citi FM is the first station in Africa to have pioneered this innovative way of communicating with listeners and viewers.
Citi 97.3 FM, christened on Google+ as “CitiFM Fanpage”, went mainstream with its Google+ account over eight months ago and has since been interacting with a section of the over 250 million people on the platform.
Persons interested in joining the Hangout will have to sign up to Google Plus and add ‘CitiFM Fanpage’ via: www.gplus.to/citi973, to their circles on the platform. Should this prove difficult however, prospective participants can log on to the radio station’s YouTube channel: www.YouTube.com/user/citifmvideos.
