President Bola Tinubu’s inaugural media chat is set to be broadcast on the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN).
In a statement, Bayo Onanuga, the presidential spokesperson, confirmed that the media chat will be aired at 9 p.m. today.
“The first Presidential Media Chat with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be broadcast at 9 p.m. on Monday, December 23, on the Nigerian Television Authority and Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria,” the statement reads.
All television and radio stations are encouraged to tune in to the broadcast.
This marks Tinubu’s first media chat since he assumed office on May 29, 2023.
During the chat, Tinubu will respond to questions from a panel of journalists on national matters, including his economic policies, security, and other key issues.
The tradition of presidential media chats began during the tenure of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
The practice was continued by the administrations of Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan.
However, under the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, the frequency of the presidential media chats declined.
