Spokesperson for the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Uwa Suleiman has been appointed spokesperson for Nigeria’s Minister of Communications.
Suleiman’s job takes immediate effect in a letter signed and addressed to her by the Minister of Communications, Dr Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, who is also the immediate past Director General of the NITDA.
Uwa’s appointment is based on “your track record and performance,” states the letter. She assumes duty on secondment to the ministry from the IT regulatory agency.
Part of her brief would be perception and media management of the minister.
Uwa, a graduate of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, Kaduna, had worked at Daar Communications, owners of AIT and Raypower before joining the NITDA where she rose to become the agency’s spokesperson.
“I seize this opportunity to give thanks to Almighty God who has preserved my life and brought me this far. My heartfelt gratitude to my late father who gave up everything to impact in me the best education money can buy and to instill the virtue of hard work in me.
My most and highest human gratitude goes to my boss, the Honourable Minister of Communications Dr Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, who has deemed my very humble self, worthy of this appointment as his Spokesperson. Sir, the confidence reposed in me shall not be misplaced,” said an enthusiastic Uwa in a Facebook post.
Uwa has extensive media and perception management skills and she is expected to bring this to bear in her new job role at the ministry.
She has written and posted a number of articles related to the ICT industry.
