On 31st July, I will be leaving @nbstv. It has been such an honour to serve for the last 6 years. Thank you @KKariisa and the entire @nextmediaug family for the support. I will now focus on my new role as the Executive Director @AfricanIIJ, the home of investigative journalism

He has been covering investigative stories at the same time reading ‘Live at 9’ news on NBS TV.

Serwanjja started his journalism career at UBC TV, switched to Serena-based NTV and later NBS TV.

After winning the 2019 BBC World News Komla Dumor Award, Serwanjja was ushered in as a producer at the BBC Focus on Africa news program. Following his stay at BBC, it’s reported that he received massive offers but Next Media Services CEO, Kin Kariisa convinced him to stay at NBS TV with a better offer.

Hungry to excel and pass on the knowledge to young journalists, Serwanjja decided to throw in a towel and joined African Institute for Investigative Journalism.
