According to him, Chief Dokpesi was an outstanding businessman and indeed, a media mogul, who took the bold step to venture into private broadcasting and broke the ground for many who came after him.
He was a pacesetter and brave in his quest to build Africa’s most enterprising, private broadcasting brand.
