Tinubu Reverses NTA Shake-Up, Recalls DG and Executive Director

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reversed the recent shake-up at the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) by recalling Salihu Abdullahi Dembos as the Director-General and Ayo Adewuyi as the Executive Director of News. This decision overturns the appointment of new executives made earlier.

The directive was issued by the President's Special Adviser on Information Strategy, Bayo Onanuga. Dembos, who was initially appointed in October 2023, will now complete his tenure.

The move signifies a shift in the management of the broadcaster following the reinstatement of key officials.
