President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has renewed the tenure of the Director-General of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), Abdulhamid Salihu Dembos, and the Managing Director of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Ali Mohammed Ali.
The two media executives will serve another three-year term beginning October 20, 2026, according to a statement issued by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
President Tinubu first appointed Dembos and Ali to lead the NTA and NAN respectively on October 20, 2023.
Dembos, a media administrator from Yola, Adamawa State, is a former National President of the Radio, Television, Theatre and Art Workers Union (RATTAWU). He joined the NTA as an announcer at its Kaduna station in 1989 and later served as General Manager of NTA Lokoja and NTA Kano.
He retired from the NTA in 2017 as Acting Zonal Director of the Kaduna Network Centre before subsequently serving as Executive Director of Marketing.
Ali, a veteran journalist and media manager with more than three decades of experience, holds degrees in English and International Affairs, as well as a postgraduate diploma in Mass Communication.
The President urged both executives to justify the confidence placed in them by strengthening their organisations and advancing their respective mandates.
He also tasked them with supporting the promotion of the government’s Renewed Hope Agenda during their second term.
