Raymond Dokpesi, Grandchildren Recover From COVID-19

The founder of Daar Communications, Raymond Dokpesi, and two of his grandchildren have been discharged from the University of Abuja Treatment Centre after testing negative for COVID-19 twice.

Dokpesi and seven other family members had on May 1 tested positive for the virus, few days after his son contracted the disease.

He said the past two weeks at the treatment centre had provided him with a first-hand experience of the enormous challenge before the country.

He said, “I am exceptionally indebted to God Almighty for keeping and protecting me and my entire family all through our isolation at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada Isolation Centre.

“We are better acquainted with the personal sacrifices many Nigerians are making to ensure that we collectively defeat this pandemic. This cuts across the policymakers, the care providers and even the cleaners whose job puts them at constant risk of exposure.”
