NBS TV has hired two Makerere University finalists as it continues to widen its digital media agenda. NBS is the flagship brand of Next Media Services, a media conglomerate.

The past few days have seen the media empire roast on X after users question the essence of publishing staff let go.

However, in response, the Head of Corporate Affairs at Next Media, Desire Derekford Mugumiza, equally shared the list of 21 staff recruited in the last two quarters.

Among them are two finalists (journalism and communication) at Makerere University. They are Cyntia Ashaba and Bashir Omar.
