In a statement issued on Friday by Director of Information and Public Relations in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Segun Imohiosen, the President named Rotimi Pedro from the South-West as the new Director-General of the NTA.
Karimah Bello from the North-West was appointed Executive Director of Marketing, while Stella Din Jacob from the North-Central was named Executive Director of News. In addition, Sophia Essahmed from the North-East will serve as Managing Director of NTA Enterprises Limited.
