Cross River State Governor Bassey Otu picks Linus Obogo as his new Chief Press Secretary and Special Adviser on Media and Publicity. Obogo takes over from Gill Nsa who held the job before him. Nsa becomes Special Adviser on Public Affairs under the new changes. The governor moved Nsa from his previous role as head of media operations. Official papers dated June 17 confirm both appointments through the state government secretary.
Nsa previously led the Nigeria Union of Journalists before joining the governor's team in May 2024. He replaced Emmanuel Ogbeche who faced many problems during his time as press secretary. Ogbeche moved to Abuja to work as a media helper after his removal from the top job. The governor sent Ogbeche back to his home city where he originally came from. Three different people have served as Chief Press Secretary during Governor Otu's two years as leader.
Obogo worked as Nsa's deputy and knows the media office operations well from his previous experience. He used to work for ThisDay newspaper before joining government service. Governor Ben Ayade's administration employed Obogo as Deputy Chief Press Secretary before the current appointment. Professor Anthony Owan-Enoh signed the official letter announcing both men's new positions. The state government secretary handles all formal appointment announcements for the governor's office.
