The Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) has expressed its willingness to partner with the Public Complaints Commission in Benue State in order to achieve the positive gains of inter-agency collaboration.
This, the NTA made known through its Acting Zonal Director in Makurdi, Mr. Pascmom Mgbebe when he paid a courtesy visit to the Federal Commissioner of the Public Complaints Commission in Makurdi, Mr. James Ogaba Oche.
The Acting Zonal Director assured the Commissioner that they would consistently ensure news about the Commission reaches far beyond Benue State, as the NTA is committed to supporting the Commission’s success.
To turn words into action, Mr. Mgbebe invited the Hon. Commissioner to participate in the Authority’s live phone-in and documentary programs, as well as the Pidgin publicity initiative.
Highlighting Oche’s strong leadership qualities, Terna Umah, the Manager (News) of the NTA, credited these traits to commitment, passion and service which Oche is known for.
In response, the Hon. Commissioner expressed his gratitude for the visit and conveyed his eagerness for the partnership to thrive. Oche noted that the mass media, particularly NTA, lay the groundwork for informing and educating the public about the benefits they can derive from the Commission.
