EXCLUSIVE: Tinubu Names New Leadership at NTA in Quiet Reshuffle

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has quietly reshuffled the leadership at the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) in a strategic move. The appointment of a new leadership team at NTA was approved by Tinubu, with the aim of realigning the public broadcaster ahead of the 2027 general election.

The decision follows a presidential directive, although the Presidency has not issued a formal statement yet. The change is seen as part of Tinubu's broader strategy to boost NTA's competitiveness and align its messaging with the administration's priorities.

The incoming team is expected to modernize operations, expand digital penetration, and revitalize the network's revenue base. This move is generating speculation in political circles in Abuja, with observers noting a mix of industry insiders and heavyweights in the new appointments, signaling Tinubu's intent to blend public service broadcasting with commercial agility.
