Why Sheilah Caro Gashumba and Sheila Salta were fired?
According to a trusted source at Next Media Services, top bosses came up with a decision to fire the two after going against the contract each signed when joining the team.
A source further told Boom Uganda that, before even their contract with Next Media expired, Sheila Carol Gashumba and Sheila Salta went and signed a new contract with a new radio station in town called NRG Radio and they even kept being absent from their shows on NBS. This prompted their dismissal
The two are fired two months after the company showed exit to 30 staff members.
Since the Kenyan broadcasting powerhouse, NRG started a radio station in Uganda, NRG Radio 106.5 FM, it has been hunting top celebrities to give it mileage NRG radio is in direct competition with Next Media Services’ Nxt Radio and both target the same audience.
