President Tinubu Recalls NTA DG, Director of News, Reverses Recent Appointments

President Bola Tinubu has ordered the reinstatement of the Director-General of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), Mr. Salihu Abdullahi Dembos, and the Executive Director of News, Mr. Ayo Adewuyi, effectively reversing recent management changes at the state-owned broadcaster.

The directive was announced on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, in a statement issued by Presidential aide Bayo Onanuga.

According to the statement:

  • Dembos, first appointed DG by Tinubu in October 2023, will now return to complete his three-year tenure.

  • Adewuyi, appointed in 2024, has also been recalled to complete his tenure, which runs until 2027.

The latest order nullifies earlier appointments announced on August 22, which included:

  • Rotimi Pedro (DG, NTA)

  • Stella Din Jacob (Executive Director, News)

  • Karimah Bello (Executive Director, Marketing)

  • Sophia Essahmed (MD, NTA Enterprises)

The Presidency did not provide a reason for the reversal, leaving the development open to speculation.
