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.
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.
