Mrs. Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu has been appointed as the first regional director (West Africa) for M.Net. Her appointment was announced by Mrs. Patricia van Rooyen, chief executive officer of M-Net Sub-Saharan Africa.
She said Mba-Uzoukwu’s appointment is reflection of M-Net’s rapid growth in West Africa.
Van Rooyen said: “Such has been the increase in our pan-African viewership that we recently decided to split our African operations into West and East Africa,” Van Rooyen.
“This will enable us to increase our presence in these regions, and to focus on delivering content and services that are tailored to exactly what our audiences want.”
According to her, Mba-Uzoukwu is one of West Africa’s most talented broadcast executives and has been with M-Net as Regional Manager since October 2012.
She holds a degree in political science and a postgraduate diploma in Direct Marketing. She worked with Airtel Nigeria Limited where she was Head of Brand and Marketing Communications before joining M-Net.
“Wangi will head up an extremely strong content team that will capitalise on the excellent reputation and popularity that M-Net has amongst hundreds of thousands of West Africans viewers,” Van Rooyen said.
M-Net said Mrs. Mba-Uzoukwu will take up her new position on March 1.
