Uzodimma proposes national media centre to honour Dokpesi

Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma has proposed the establishment of a national media centre in honour of late media entrepreneur Raymond Aleogho Dokpesi. The centre would serve as a hub for research on how the media can promote development journalism, strengthen democratic institutions, and contribute to Nigeria's socio-economic progress.

Uzodimma pledged to lead the campaign for the establishment of the centre, stating that it would be a fitting tribute to Dokpesi and a way to ensure that journalism remains credible, accountable, and able to investigate public expenditure, expose corruption, and highlight institutional failures.
