President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered the recall of Mr. Salihu Abdullahi Dembos, the Director-General of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), and Mr. Ayo Adewuyi, the Executive Director of News, to complete their respective tenures.
Mr. Dembos, who was first appointed in October 2023, will return to complete his three-year mandate as head of the national television network. Similarly, Mr. Adewuyi, appointed in 2024, has been directed to resume his role as Executive Director of News until his tenure expires in 2027.
The presidential directive, announced on Tuesday, effectively reversed earlier management changes that had introduced new appointments, including a Director-General, Executive Director of News, Executive Director of Marketing, and Managing Director of NTA Enterprises.
Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, confirmed the development in a statement issued from the State House, Abuja.
