Like everything he had attempted to do in the past, top Ogun State based independent broadcaster, Desmond Abiodun Nwachukwu, has succeeded in his desire to become the president of Freelance and Independent Broadcasters' Association of Nigeria (FIBAN). He emerged the new helmsman of the prestigious association after a keenly contested election at FIBAN National Secretariat, New Oyo Road, Ibadan, Oyo State, on Thursday, 19th January, 2017.
According to impeccable information reaching Saheed Ojubanire Online, Enugu born Nwachukwu who speaks Yoruba, English and Igbo fluently, was up against an opponent named Elder Dele Oladejo and Nwachukwu emerged victorious by 71 to 27 votes. And right after his victory, the outgoing president, Yemi Sounde, a consummate broadcaster handed over the reins of power to Nwachukwu by declaring that henceforth, every matter concerning the FIBAN Presidency should directed to Nwachukwu.
Meanwhile, some other new officers who emerged alongside Nwachukwu included Sulaiman Adegbenro a.k.a. Mr. Consoligbadun who emerged as the 1st Vice President and Ellen Njoku as 2nd Vice President. Their emergence with other excos is believed by many observers, to have come with a promise of a new dawn for the association in Nigeria.
