He was part of the team that formed private-owned free to air television station, TV Africa.

Industry players have since thronged social media platforms to eulogise the old-timer.
TV3 news anchor, Abu Issa Monnie said Nii Oko was very friendly and always wore a good smile. According to him, the late Nii Oko was always ready to help with Ga pronunciations and nearly drafted him (Issa Monnie) into reading the Ga news.
"He taught me how to pronounce Adentan, and not Adenta", said Issa Monnie.
