SOKOTO — The Kogunan Sokoto, Dr. Nasir Danladi Bako, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the re-appointment of Salihu Abdulhamid Dembos as Director General of the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA, for a second term of three years.
In a statement personally signed by him, the Kogunan Sokoto said the re-appointment reaffirms the President’s “Renewed Hope” agenda for the broadcast media industry.
Dr. Bako, a former staff of NTA and former Director General of the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, said he was in a position to assess media professionals and chief executives.
He noted that Dembos had brought improvements to the NTA, including better sound, clearer pictures and higher quality content in news and programmes.
“It’s not yet Uhuru but NTA has moved numerous steps ahead of where it was five years ago,” he said.
He recalled that Dembos was part of his production crew in 1991 at NTA Kaduna studios where he produced and directed a musical documentary.
The Kogunan Sokoto added that the DG’s work ethics and performance-driven mentality are reminiscent of the training they had in the 70s and 80s.
He concluded: “Congratulations, Renewed Director General Salihu Abdulhamid Dembos.”
