Former NTV Uganda news reporter and anchor Sheila Nduhukire has joined Kamwokya based NBS television.
Nduhukire was unveiled by Next Media Services CEO Kin Kariisa in the presence of chief strategist Joseph Kigozi and other top officials.
“November has come with a new addition as we continue growing our current affairs team. I am pleased to introduce to you Ms. Sheila Nduhukire. Join me in welcoming her to the Next Media family- the winning team,” Kariisa said in a statement.
Nduhukire, who also holds a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) is a former journalist at both NTV Uganda and NTV Kenya.
Ms Nduhukire became more popular on the airwaves most especially during the 2016 elections when she closely reported the results from the elections for close to 20 hours a day and the scandals about teenage marriages in Refugee camps in Uganda.
Fellow workers have since welcomed her at the station.
“When I came here in 2016, I spoke to a man [Kin Kariisa] who gave me the sense than I was becoming part of something really huge. This is not just work. It’s a contribution to creating a nation we shall leave to our children. You are most welcome Shiela,” Samson Kasumba said.
Several other prominent names like Solomon Sserwanja, RukhShana Namuyimba, Sheila Tusiime Mugisha, Ernest Wisdom Kiyonga, Darren Kyeyune, MC Kats, and most recently, Douglas Lwanga left Serena Hotel based media house for Media Plaza.
Ms Nduhukire was born in Kazo, Kiruhura District to Bishop of North Ankole Diocese Stephen Namanya, and Lydia Namanya, a teacher.
She attended Uganda Martyrs Namugongo for O’ Level and later Bweranyangi Girls School for A’ Level. She was Guild President at Mbarara University of Science and Technology before joining Nation Media Group as a trainee journalist and rose through the ranks.
