President Bola Tinubu has renewed the appointments of Abdulhamid Dembos as Director-General of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and Ali Mohammed Ali as Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) for another three years.
The decision means both media executives will continue to lead the government-owned broadcasting and news agencies for a further term.
The announcement was made on Sunday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, in a statement.
Mr Dembos and Mr Ali were initially appointed to their respective positions for a three-year tenure.
The presidency said the renewed appointments were in line with the administration’s efforts to strengthen the country’s public media institutions and ensure continuity in their leadership.
The NTA is Nigeria’s national television broadcaster, while NAN is the country’s state-owned news agency, providing news content to media organisations across Nigeria and internationally.
The renewed tenure takes effect following the completion of their initial three-year appointments.
The development is expected to allow both agencies to continue implementing ongoing reforms and programmes under their leadership.
