Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has expressed his grief over the death of media mogul, Raymond Dokpesi.<\/p>\n

Lawan described the death of the founder of Africa Independent Television (AIT) and Raypower FM Radio, as a great loss to the Nigerian polity and media industry in the light of his immense contributions to politics and the evolution of private media in Nigeria and Africa.<\/p>\n

The senate president said it is to the credit of Dokpesi that he established the first private television network in Nigeria, Africa\u2019s first private satellite television and first privately owned radio station in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cI commiserate with the immediate family of Dr Raymond Dokpesi, staff of AIT\/Ray power FM radio and the media industry at large on this great loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey should all be consoled that Dr Dokpesi made his mark in business, politics and the media industry and lived a fulfilled life,\u201d Lawan said.<\/p>\n

He prayed to God to grant him eternal rest and comfort his loved ones.<\/p>\n
