Group Solicits Conducive Environment for Media Practitioners Mary Nnah Participants who marched through the streets of Lagos on October 25th to celebrate a man they described as a strong pillar of Nigeria’
Participants who marched through the streets of Lagos on October 25th to celebrate a man they described as a strong pillar of Nigeria’s democracy, Chief Raymond Anthony Dokpesi, a Nigerian media entrepreneur and Founder, of Daar Communications Plc, said the need for government to create a conducive environment for media organisations in Nigeria has become imperative if the media is to effectively discharge it constitutionally assigned duties of a watchdog.
The theme for the 2022 Raymond Dokpesi Endurance Trek, which also aimed at getting the government to declare October 25th as a Day of Broadcasting in Nigeria, was “The Media, the Nation’s Stabiliser”. He noted, however, that despite the harsh condition under which the Nigerian media strives, it has continued to play the role of the nation’s stabiliser, enhancing economic growth, and national security, and promoting the socio-political development of the country.
Ebuetse said, therefore, “The gathering remained symbolic as it stands for the voices of the Nigerians in our collective resolve in the promotion of private broadcasting”, adding, “The media in Nigeria, like any advanced country, has continued to play the role of the nation’s stabiliser.”
