Tinubu recalls NTA DG, reverses recent appointments
President Bola Tinubu has ordered the recall of Salihu Dembos as director-general of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), following recent management reshuffles at the agency.
This is contained in a statement by presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga on Tuesday in Abuja.
Mr Dembos, who was appointed the DG of the TV network by Mr Tinubu in October 2023, will now return to complete his three-year tenure.
The president similarly directed the recall of Ayo Adewuyi, the executive director of news, to complete his three-year tenure, which ends in 2027.
Mr Adewuyi was appointed by Mr Tinubu in 2024.
The directive effectively overrides earlier appointments of a new director-general, executive director of news, executive director of marketing, and managing director of NTA Enterprises.
Rotimi Pedro was recently announced as NTA DG in a statement by Segun Imohiosen, the director of information at the SGF’s office.
