Omole worked with the NTA before leaving for Chevron in mid-1980s.
A source said: “The new team comprises professionals who rose through the ranks in NTA. So, having seen the good old days of the corporation, they are expected to refix it.
“The emergence of private television stations has created a stiffer competition for the NTA. This management has been saddled with the responsibility of making NTA the first choice in the competitive market.”
