Nigerian Journalist & Presenter Arit Okpo Is New Host of CNN’s African Voices

The Nigerian journalist, TV presenter, documentary filmmaker, producer and voice-over talent Arit Okpo is the new host of CNN’s “African Voices.” She was, until this announcement, the voice on the programme. The show, which turned ten this year, “highlights the continent’s most dazzling trendsetters who create their own subcultures in areas such as travel, fashion, art, music, technology and architecture.”

Okpo, who worked with Richard Quest on his visit to Nigeria for his CNN programme “Quest Business Traveller,” has been a producer and presenter for EbonyLife TV, and hosts the web talk show Untold Facts, produced by The Initiative for Equal Rights (TIERS).

Excited to (finally) share that I am the host of #CNNAfricanVoicesChangemakers, A new chapter of CNN African Voices celebrating the people innovating, advocating and making a difference on the continent. Launching Friday August 9. Make sure to tune in!!!!! https://t.co/w6McRvW9M3
