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).
