Shamim Nayiga has joined NTV from UBC. For close to two years, Nayiga has anchored the UBC Leero, Luganda news bulletin. We have been told that at NTV, she will be anchoring Akawungeezi from Monday to Thursday.
Since Faridah Nakazibwe left the Serena Conference Hall based TV station, NTV has been looking for her replacement.
In Nayiga, they have found a calm but commanding person who will anchor arguably the most watched news bulletin in Uganda. Nayiga started her broadcasting journey at Delta TV.
She is the third anchor NTV has poached from UBC in the last 15 years. They poached Joel Ssenyonyi, whose is now an MP and Solomon Serwanjja.
