President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered the recall of Mr Salihu Abdullahi Dembos, the Director-General of the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA, who briefly vacated the post following some management changes in the agency, reports thegazellenews.com
Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President, Bayo Onanuga, confirmed the development in a statement on Tuesday, 2 September, 2025.
Mr. Dembos was appointed DG of the TV network by President Tinubu in October 2023.
“He will now return to complete his three-year tenure,” the statement said.
Mr. Onanuga stated that the President similarly directed the recall of Mr. Ayo Adewuyi, Executive Director of News, to complete his three-year tenure, which ends in 2027.
Adewuyi was appointed by President Tinubu in 2024.
The new directive effectively reversed the previously announced appointments of a Directors-General, Executive Director of News, Executive Director of Marketing, and Managing Director of NTA Enterprises.
