(PRESS STATEMENT)
This is to formally congratulate Mallam Abdulhameed Dembos on his re-appointment for a second tenure as Director General of the Nigerian Television Authority NTA by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
My commendation and warm gratitude also go to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Bola Ahmed Tinubu on this reaffirmation of “Renewed Hope” within the entire broadcast media industry.
As a former operational staff of the Television Authority and later as Chief Regulator of the broadcast industry in my role as Director General of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), I believe I occupy a vantage and exclusive position to assess performance of Media professionals and their Chief Executives and I must certify that Abdulhameed Dembos has gradually brought back a good measure of better sound, cleaner pictures and a greater level of higher quality content upgrade in news and programmes.
It’s not yet Uhuru but NTA has moved numerous steps ahead of where it was five years ago.
Mallam Dembos was on my production crew in 1991 at NTA Kaduna studios where I produced and directed a musical documentary.
Therefore his work ethics and performance driven mentality are reminiscent of the training we all had in the 70s and 80s.
Congratulations, Renewed Director General Abdulhameed Dembos.
