President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the reconstitution of the Governing Board of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), following the expiration of the tenure of the former Board.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said the board has Hon. Bashir Omolaja Bolarinwa as Chairman.
Bolarinwa, a political associate of the minister, is a former chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State.
He was re-elected state chairman in October 2021 at a parallel congress, but the national leadership of the APC had since recognised Mr. Sunday Fagbemi produced at the congress held by the faction of Governor Abdulraham AbdulRasaq.
Other members of the Board, who were appointed to represent various interests as stipulated by the NBC Act, include Mr. Wada Asab Ibrahim, Mr. Iheanyichukwu Azubike Dike, Mrs. Adesola Oyinloye Ndu and Mr. Olaniyan Olatunji Badmus.
Also on the Board are Mr. Bashir Ibrahim, Mr. Obiora Ilo, Mr. Ahmad Sajo, Engr. Bayo Erikitola, a representative of the State Security Service, a representative of the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture as well as the Director-General of the Commission.
The board has a three-year tenure.
