President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reversed recent management changes at the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), directing the immediate reinstatement of Mr. Salihu Abdullahi Dembos as Director-General of the nation’s flagship broadcaster.
Dembos, first appointed in October 2023, will now continue his three-year tenure.
Also recalled is Mr. Ayo Adewuyi, the Executive Director of News, who had been replaced in the shake-up. Adewuyi, appointed in 2024, will complete his term, which runs until 2027.
The President’s directive effectively cancels earlier announced appointments for the positions of director-general, executive director of news, executive director of marketing, and managing director of NTA Enterprises.
