President Bola Tinubu renews the tenures of Abdulhamid Dembos as Managing Director of Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) and Ali Mohammed Ali as Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN). The renewal is for another three years, with the extended terms set to start in October 2026.
All three outlets report that Tinubu first appointed Dembos and Ali on 20 October 2023. Vanguard and Premium Times specify that the second term begins on 20 October 2026, while The Punch also states the renewal takes effect in October 2026, without highlighting the exact day.
The articles provide largely matching details and do not describe additional policy changes or reasons for the renewals. The focus is on the leadership continuity for the two state-owned media organisations—NTA for television broadcasting and NAN for news distribution—through the next three-year period.
