Daar Communications, owner of the African Independent Television (AIT) and Raypower Radio Station, will soon establish a broadcasting outlet in Abia State.

The company’s management team, led by the Chairman, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, visited Governor Theodore Orji in Umuahia yesterday.

Governor Theodore Orji thanked the company for its decision to invest in the state and assured the management of security.

Praising Dokpesi’s achievements in the industry, Orji said: “This wonderful man has done well in the broadcasting industry, despite the fact that he had no formal training in that area. I know him as an engineer and not a mass communication expert.”

Dokpesi said the company is expanding to meet the Nigeria Broadcasting Commission’s (NBC’s) directive that all broadcasting outfits must be digital by 2015.

He said the new outlet would cost N1 billion.

Dokpesi thanked the governor for his support.
