The former Director General of the Nigeria Television Authority, Mr.
Patrick Ityoher, has cried out for being neglected by the authority.
Ityoher told journalists late on Monday in Makurdi that his former colleagues at NTA had abandoned him since he fell ill.
“The NTA family has neglected me, nobody comes to see me; they are scared to visit me; instead, I hear people speculating about my death every now and then, they said I died in London,” he said.
The former NTA boss, who was appointed by former military Head of State, late Gen. Sani Abacha regretted that the NTA had forgotten about him too soon.
He said that in other climes, he would have been remembered because
of the quality programme he introduced during his tenure as NTA DG.
The 76-year-old retired broadcaster, regretted the decline in the
quality of programmes at the NTA and said he was missing the “Sunny Side
of Life”, which aired every Sunday on NTA during his time.
He said that he accepted his retirement by President Olusegun Obasanjo “with gratitude to God after spending 40 years of my life in the organisation”.
Ityoher appealed to Nigerians to be patient with the incumbent administration, saying “the good old times will soon be back”.
