On Old Glamour Girls Of Nigerian Television Authority (NTA)

 Ronke Ayuba, Allwell Brown and Benamaisia-Opia
Many years ago, they held sway as newscasters in the stable of the Nigerian Television Authority. They were not only the cynosure of all eyes within and outside of the premises of the television house; they held people in awe with their sense of style, charm and manner of news presentation.
Though these ladies, Sienne AllWell-Brown, Ronke Ayuba and Ruth Benamaisia-Opia, are retired from the tube, they remain glamour gals in the society.

Sienne, who unarguably led the pack of these screen goddesses, has an impeccable dress sense and aura. Many years after she bid goodbye to the cameras, she is still being idolised. A lawyer by training, she immediately set up a law firm soon after her exit from the screen- Allwell-Brown & Co. But it didn’t take long before she was appointed the General Manager/CEO, Rivers State Television. After a while, she eventually took up her current job as the General Manager, External Relations at the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Limited.
Shortly after her exit from NTA, Ruth took up a political appointment as the Commissioner for Information and Culture, Bayelsa State. The appointment was short-lived. The dreadlock wearing ace broadcaster who is married to a former chairman, OMPADEC, Professor Eric Opia, has since joined the Brass LNG as the community relations manager. Recently, she was spotted at a wedding in Lagos.
For Ronke, a ravishing beauty, there is life after NTA. Married to Senator Tanko Ayuba, a retired major-general, she was one of the tube gals you just could not ignore on account of her charm and fluent news delivery. Just some months ago, she lost her mother, Maria Dalley. This took her away from the social scene for a while but the astute businesswoman is back.
