This dual station launch marks a significant achievement for Don Media Group, the brainchild of renowned philanthropist and media titan, Mayor Lucky Igbokwe, widely recognized as Don Lulu. A former Abia State Governorship aspirant, Don Lulu emphasizes that this undertaking extends far beyond mere fanfare. “This is about investing back into the community that nurtured me,” he passionately declared. “These two stations aren’t solely for leisure; they are essential platforms for learning, empowerment, and cultivating Abia State’s future generation of creative minds.”
The impressive caliber of artists assembled powerfully demonstrates Don Lulu’s extensive connections and sway within the Nigerian entertainment scene. Imagine Davido, Timaya, Kcee, Bright Chimezie, Peruzzi, Zlatan, Zoro, and Jeriq sharing the same stage with industry icons like Cubana Chief Priest, Sabinus, and Funnybone. Such a concentrated display of star power is a rare spectacle outside of Lagos. Their collective presence not only endorses these new stations but also signifies a truly landmark moment.
Don FM is specifically tailored to resonate with the youth—the trendsetters and the digitally engaged generation. In contrast, Ikoro FM aims to rekindle the spirit of the past, serving as a dedicated hub for authentic indigenous narratives, classic folk melodies, and the crucial safeguarding of Igbo cultural heritage. Together, these stations introduce an innovative approach to regional broadcasting, one that respectfully upholds timeless traditions while boldly embracing modern advancements.
“This is more than just launching radio stations,” Don Lulu reinforced, adding, “It’s about laying down a lasting cultural foundation, empowering our young people, and ensuring our heritage resonates well beyond Abia’s boundaries.”
The grand opening is open to the general public, promising attendees an unforgettable day packed with captivating cultural presentations, heartfelt community acknowledgments, and thrilling live musical performances.
Mayor Lucky Igbokwe, Don Lulu, is more than just a media entrepreneur; he is a distinguished philanthropist and a cultural beacon. Through numerous initiatives, he has been pivotal in uplifting young people and championing Igbo culture. The establishment of Don FM and Ikoro FM unequivocally showcases his dedication to building a vibrant cultural framework for the community.

Beyond providing entertainment, these new stations are set to offer invaluable training and mentorship opportunities for local youth across broadcasting, music production, and broader media sectors. This visionary endeavor is designed to unleash the creative potential within Abia’s young populace, establishing an enduring legacy of growth and empowerment for years to come.
While Don Lulu’s previous Abia concerts have attracted notable artists like Don Jazzy, Tiwa Savage, DJ Jimmy Jatt, D’Prince, Sheyman, Jaywon, MC Galaxy, and Big Brother’s Teddy A, this upcoming event possesses a distinctly different aura. It carries the profound weight of a sustained legacy, further solidified by The Don Lulu Foundation, which has championed philanthropic efforts throughout Abia State for over two decades under his direct stewardship.
