History was made recently when the managements of Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and Wale Adenuga Productions (WAP) met and signed a MoU that formally marks the start of a partnership aimed at bringing back the iconic The Village Headmaster to television.
The historic event happened at the NTA Headquarters in Abuja with several top management staff of NTA like the Director General – Mallam Yakubu Ibn Mohammed, Executive Director, Marketing – Mallam Salihu A. Dembos, Executive Director, Production – Mr. Wole Coker, Director Marketing – Mallam Umar Abubakar Dembo, Secretary Legal Adviser – Barrister Theresa Nwanneri, and Head, Corporate Affairs – Mrs Mabel Moses in attendance.
Also, the management of WAP was represented by the Chairman – Wale Adenuga MFR and Managing Director – Wale Adenuga Junior.
When The Village Headmaster TV Drama series originally was first aired between 1968 and 1988, it was bigger than a TV Drama. The TV Drama series brought pride and unity to Nigerians as a whole, as such, NTA and WAP would be carrying on with this new production.
The new production of The Village Headmaster TV Drama series will be jointly produced and marketed by Nigerian Television Authority and Wale Adenuga Productions and is expected to premiere on NTA Network in January 2021.
