History

The station was founded by Chief Adebayo Muritala Akande, the "Agbaakin Olubadan of Ibadan Land",[1] and began broadcasting on 22 March 2007. It was the first independent radio station in the city of Ibadan.

The station's main objective is to bridge the missing link between the existing station and the populace in Ibadan by fulfilling the major responsibilities of broadcasting, entertainment and public enlightenment. In view of this, Splash 105.5 FM Ibadan was rebranded the "Integrity Station" or "Radio Omoluabi" in Yoruba on 25 August 2008 by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).

Splash FM/ICPC Integrity Marathon

The "Splash FM/ICPC Integrity Marathon" is organized annually in a joint partnership between Splash FM and the ICPC. The marathon is to celebrate the station's anniversary and sensitize the populace about the fight against corruption in Nigerian society.[2][3][4][5]
