Komla has anchored a number of key programs for radio, from Obama’s visit to Ghana to the bloody crisis in Northern Nigeria. More recently he anchored BBC World service’s coverage of the World cup in South Africa -including hosting the final press event for FIFA and the Organizing Committee for SA 2010.

As the host this groundbreaking show Komla travelled to over 15 countries around Africa meeting the continents leading entrepreneurs and profiling African innovation.
In January this year it was announced that Komla Dumor and Naga Munchetty would replace Jonathan Charles as the new presenters of the prime time morning television news for the UK domestic and global audience.
