President Muhammadu Buhari has replaced Acting DG, Armstrong Idachaba with Balarabe Shehu Ilelah as the Director-General of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC).
Information Minister, Lai Mohammed, made the announcement in a statement on Friday.
The appointment of Ilelah, a veteran broadcaster, is for a tenure of five years in the first instance.
The new DG takes over from Idachaba, whose stint saw the sanction of media houses at different times.
As Ilelah prepares to assume office, his handling of the broadcast industry, government’s perceived hostility on social media, plans to regulate the use, Twitter ban, among others, will be under observation by many Nigerians.
