President Bola Tinubu.

President Bola Tinubu has ordered the recall of Mr Salihu Dembos as Director-General of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), who was recently relieved of his duties in a major management reshuffle in the organisation.
This is contained in a statement issued by Mr Bayo Onanuga, Presidential Spokesperson, on Tuesday in Abuja.
Dembos, who was appointed D-G of the TV network by President Tinubu in October 2023, will now return to complete his three-year tenure.
The President similarly directed the recall of Mr Ayo Adewuyi, the Executive Director of News, to complete his three-year tenure, which ends in 2027.
Adewuyi was appointed by President Tinubu in 2024.
The directive effectively overrides the earlier appointments of Mr Rotimi Pedro as NTA Director-General, alongside an Executive Director of News, Executive Director of Marketing, and a Managing Director of NTA Enterprises.
Pedro was announced as NTA D-G in a statement issued by Mr Segun Imohiosen, the Director of Information in the SGF’s Office. (NAN)
