Folorunsho Coker to Head Tourism Corporation not Film and Video Censors Board – Presidency
Folorunsho Coker
The Presidency has clarified that Folorunsho Folarin-Coker is the new Director-General for Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC), not the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) as earlier announced on Friday.
Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President made the clarification in a statement on Saturday in Abuja.
He said Adedayo Thomas was the Executive Director of the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB).
The statement read: “As part of new appointments approved for government agencies and parastatals by President Muhammadu Buhari on March 31, 2017, Folorunsho Coker, is the new Director-General for Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC), while Adedayo Thomas, is the Executive Director of the National Film and Video Censors Board, (NFVCB).
“This corrects the earlier announcement that Coker is of the National Film and Video Censors Board.’’
Recall that Governor Akinwunmi Ambode in October 2016, fired 3 commissioners, including Coker, who was the then Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture.
The government however gave no reason for his sack at the time.
