Former TV Siren Liz Ntonjira Reveals Why She Left NTV

Liz Ntonjira started out as a business reporter in 2010 and left NTV after working for close to 4 years.

After handing in her resignation, she share this on her Facebook page 

“After working at NTV for the past three years and three months, i feel so blessed and privileged to land a job where my career path has always been geared to. “New year. New beginnings. I cannot ask for more. It’s been an absolute pleasure working for the biggest media house in east and central Africa. I have learnt a lot, the experience has been eye opening in all aspects. I have been privileged to interact with hundreds of women as well as various business leaders who continue to inspire me. Being nominated for the Diageo Africa business reporting awards for the best finance feature and winning the best TV reporter on gender and development issues is no mean fit. Thank you for your ever present support friends, I’m really overjoyed and excited about my new prospects. God, you continue to bless me immeasurably I’m speechless. I forever thank you.”

But she never revealed why she left.  Till now. Speaking to The Star, Lizz Says

“I left TV because I was tired of reading the news; I wanted to start making the news. I am so humbled at this opportunity because it gives me a chance to benchmark with what other states are doing in various levels of the governments and how it can be replicated here.”

These words were uttered in response to her new appointment as one of the selected few expected to join the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders in June.
