According to Christopher Ebuetse,
DG Raymond Dokpesi Centre for Media Development, “As practitioners in the broadcasting industry, we find it fulfilling recounting Dokpesi’s pioneering efforts in the advancement of private broadcasting in Nigeria.

 

 

“The annual endurance trek will be done by people from all walks of life. It will also be used to request from the federal government of Nigeria, to declare the 25th of October, a day of private broadcasting.”

The trek will begin at 10am, from Kola bus stop, Alagbado, and terminate at AIT’s compound.

 

 

Victor Edogun, who is one of the celebrity participants of the trek, reiterated that “private broadcasting is an undeniable panacea and a robust accompaniment to a hybrid society and throbbing nationhood such as ours. Only balanced media reportage and good journalism can assure our fragile democracy a worthy, vibrant standing as well as quality livelihood.”

He continued: “Consequently, it’s importance cannot be over-emphasized. Thus, it is only prudent that 25th October be declared a day of private broadcasting in our cherished and beloved country, Nigeria.”

Finally he advised Wike to focus on how to restore peace and sanity to the FCT “eversince Wike became the FCT minister, insecurity, banditry and kidnapping has intensified,he should focus on restoring peace and sanity to the federal capital territory instead of making troubles with his political son,if Wike perceives that he’s not capable of functioning as a minister,he should resign immediately”.
