President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered the reinstatement of Mr. Salihu Abdullahi Dembos as Director-General of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), directing him to complete his three-year tenure.
Dembos, who was first appointed in October 2023, had briefly vacated the position following management changes within the agency.
The President also recalled Mr. Ayo Adewuyi, Executive Director of News, to continue his tenure, which runs until 2027. Adewuyi was appointed in 2024.
The directive effectively sets aside earlier announcements regarding the appointments of a new director-general, executive director of news, executive director of marketing, and managing director of NTA Enterprises.
The statement was issued on Tuesday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
