Raymond Dokpesi Resigns, Son Takes Over

DAAR Communications owners of AIT, Raypower Faaji FM and more have been hit with the news of the retirement of leader Chief Raymond Dokpesi.
The founder of the group said that he is leaving to concentrate on politics and believes he left the company in good hands.

He revealed this during last week’s meeting in Abuja and said: “Please permit me to thank the entire members of the board of directors of DAAR Communications, the entire staff, viewers and listeners of all the DAAR communications stable, whether it is Raypower AIT, Faaji FM and all the SBUs that were created during my tenure.

I am going to be involved in the politics of the country and therefore I thought that AIT, Raypower, should be independent and people should not mistake my political aspiration or participation to mean the position of this organization.”

His son and heir, Raymond Dokpesi Jnr, has been given the mantle of leader.  He took over on Monday Dec. 1 after his father’s retirement took effect from Friday 28th November 2014. Dokpesi is regarded by many as the Ted Turner of Nigeria, His AIT station is one of the first in africa to be the first satelite tv.
