President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked the Director-General of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Professor Armstrong Idachaba.
Buhari then appointed Balarabe Shehu Ilelah, a broadcaster, as the substantive director-general of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC).
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, announced the appointment of Ilelah in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday.
He said Mr. Ilelah’s appointment is for a tenure of five years in the first instance.
Idachaba’s removal was announced four days after he ordered all broadcast stations in the country to go off Twitter.
