Kpadeh said the station serves as the only means through which students of the UL Mass Communication Department are exposed to practical broadcast techniques, making it crucial that it becomes functional as soon as possible.
It can be recalled that over the weekend the UL-owned LUX Radio with Frequency Modulation (FM) 106.6 was gutted by fire, the cause of which is being probed.
Speaking at the Ministry of Information daily press briefing at the Ministry on Tuesday, Kpadeh urged local and international organizations as well as private entities and citizens to galvanize resources to resuscitate LUX FM.
He then expressed regrets on behalf of government for the unfortunate incident, and assured that government through the Ministry of Information will work on modalities aimed at ensuring that the station is fully functional again.
LUX Radio was established in 2007 as an academic tool to enhance the study of Mass Communication as well as provide students practical knowledge in broadcast journalism.
Deceased Professor Joe W. Mulbah, who was also former Minister of Information, was instrumental in the establishment of LUX Radio, a legacy many students frequently referred to as a memorable gift.
