STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE


PRESIDENT TINUBU MOURNS VETERAN NTA BROADCASTER, AISHA BELLO


President Bola Tinubu has, with immense grief, received the news of the passing of NTA Broadcaster, Aisha Bello Mustapha, who was one of the great icons of the Nigerian broadcast media.

The President extends his deepest condolences to her family, friends, and colleagues, including the management and staff of Nigerian Television Authority, Africa's largest Television network, as well as the Broadcasting Organisations of Nigeria.

The President joins them in paying solemn respects to the highly professional news anchor and presenter, who spent 35 years at NTA until her retirement in 2022.

"During her time as the presenter of the flagship 'NTA Network News at 9', Nigerians and viewers around the world looked forward to seeing her smile, warmth, and wisdom as she delivered news that can be trusted objectively.

"She mentored many young women who took to broadcasting, mainly by watching and listening to her eloquence, passion, and integrity on the screen, in the newsroom, and off the screen.

"Her legacy in broadcast journalism lives on in the rich news archives she leaves behind and the contributions she made to the development of broadcasting in Nigeria. She brought news to life and will continue to be a beacon to inspire generations in the beautiful art of broadcasting," the President stated.

President Tinubu prays God to grant the soul of the departed eternal rest and comfort for those who mourn.
