His foresight revolutionized the media space in Nigeria, making sure that Nigerians can have a choice on the information they get.
Chief Dokpesi’s impact across Nigeria, particularly in the area of job creation, is hard to miss. The media as a whole, and more, our great party, the PDP, has lost one of its finest, and I join them in mourning an astute businessman that has contributed so much to the progress of our nation.
