The Presidency has clarified that Mr
Folorunsho Coker is the new Director-General for Nigerian Tourism
Development Corporation (NTDC), not the National Film and Video
Censors Board as earlier announced on Friday.
Mr Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser on
Media and Publicity to the President made clarification in a
statement on Saturday in Abuja.
He said Mr Adedayo Thomas was the
Executive Director of the National Film and Video Censors Board,
(NFVCB).
The statement read: “As part of new
appointments approved for government agencies and parastatals by
President Muhammadu Buhari on March 31, 2017, Mr Folorunsho Coker, is
the new Director-General for Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation
(NTDC), while Mr Adedayo Thomas, is the Executive Director of the
National Film and Video Censors Board, (NFVCB).
“This corrects the earlier
announcement that Mr Coker is of the National Film and Video Censors
Board.’’
It would be recalled that President
Muhammadu Buhari approved the appointments of new executive
management for the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA), Federal Radio
Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) National Emergency Management Agency
(NEMA) and some agencies under the Federal Ministry of Information
and Culture
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
recalls that Mr Duro Onabule, one time Editor of the defunct National
Concord as well as Chief Press Secretary to former President Ibrahim
Babangida was named as Chairman of the Board of the Nigeria
Television Authority.
His appointment was announced on Friday
along with those of new Executive Directors of the NTA.
They are Dr Steve Egbo (Administration
and Training), Abdul Hamid Salihu Dembos (Marketing), Mohammed Labbo
(News), Fatima M. Barda (Finance), Stephen Okpanachi (Engineering)
and Wole Coker (Programmes).
Adesina also named Aliyu Hayatu as
Chairman of the Board of Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN),
while Buhari Auwalu and Yinka Amosun, were appointed as Zonal
Directors for Kaduna and Lagos stations, respectively.
