Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Gets New Leadership Under President Tinubu
In a significant move aimed at strengthening national broadcasting, President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of a new Director-General and two Executive Directors for the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA). The President also directed the recall of Salihu Abdulhamid Dembos as the Director-General of the NTA, and Mr Ayo Adewuyi, the Executive Director of News, to complete their respective three-year tenures.
The fresh appointments were announced on Tuesday by the President's Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga. According to the statement, Dembos and Adewuyi were recalled to their positions on September 2.
Dembos, who briefly vacated the post following some management changes in the agency, returned to his position on Wednesday. The staff of NTA welcomed Dembos back with shouts of joy and singing, as heard in a video shared on X. In an emotion-laden voice, Dembos expressed his appreciation to the staff members for welcoming him back. The staff members were heard singing 'baba oyoyooh' as Dembos made his return to the office.
Similarly, Adewuyi will also complete his three-year tenure, which ends in 2027, following the presidential directive.
Upon his return, Dembos promised to discharge his responsibilities faithfully. He thanked President Tinubu for the opportunity to serve the nation once again in his capacity as the Director-General of the NTA.
The new president who appointed Dembos as Director-General of the Nigerian Television Authority is not identified in the provided search results. However, the tenure of Dembos as the Director-General of the NTA will now last until the end of his three-year term.
The President's move to recall Dembos and Adewuyi is part of a broader effort to rejuvenate the state broadcaster and improve its performance. The recall of these experienced hands is expected to bring stability and continuity to the NTA's operations.
The recall of Dembos and Adewuyi marks a new chapter in the history of the NTA and signals the President's commitment to ensuring the success of the state broadcaster. The staff's warm welcome and the emotional response from Dembos are testament to the high regard in which he is held by the NTA family.
