Reuben Mouka, a veteran ICT journalist and public relations practitioner, one of the best in those fields, has been appointed the Director of Public Affairs of the Nigerian Communications Commission ( NCC).

Muoka who resumed duty on Monday, June 20, 2022, replaced Dr. Ikechulkwu Adinde, who has been moved to the special duty unit of the Commission.

Muoka is not new to that department. He had worked there as a principal officer for several years under Engineer Ernest Ndukwe and the late Dr. Eugene Juwah. He was sent to the special duty and economic policy and analysis departments at some point during the first term of  Professor Umar Danbatta as EVC.

He was head of media and public relations, from 2009, until 2015, when Danbatta resumed as EVC.

Before joining NCC some 16 years ago, Muoka worked with the Vanguard, where he and Okoh Aihe, who recently retired from the NCC, ran the paper Hi-Tech pages and reported ICT for several years. He left Vanguard to work at MTS First Mobile, a pioneer company in mobile communication in Nigeria, as Corporate Affairs Manager.

Muoka has first and second degrees in Mass Communication. He was once chairman of the League of Communications Correspondents, a beat association created in 1988 to help ICT journalists become professional  ICT reporters.
