Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has approved the appointment of Ms. Ify Onyegbule as the Director General (DG) of Imo Broadcasting Corporation (IBC).

The appointment was contained in a statement issued, yesterday, by the Chief Press Secretary/Media Adviser to the governor, Oguike Nwachuku.

The Guardian learnt that the corporation had remained without a substantive DG since James Egbuchulam was suspended about a year ago.

Richard Nkwopara, a staff member of the outfit, until the appointment of Onyebule, had been acting as the DG.

Onyegbule, a graduate of Mass Communication from Ogun State Polytechnic, had been a board member of the corporation since 2021.
