Veteran journalist, Funmi Iyanda, makes comeback with new show - "Public Eye"

Veteran Nigerian journalist, Funmi Iyanda, has made a comeback to the screens with a new series tagged "Public Eye".

The talk show will be an online program which will air live on Instagram every Friday by 8 p.m via the official handle, @publiceyeng.

The former "New Dawn" host on NTA already aired the maiden edition of "Public Eye" last Friday, themed - "How Did We Get Here?".

With the world on a standstill, there couldn't have been a better beginning to her show as she featured Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, Director-General of the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) on the first show.

To complete the invited guests, Funmi also hosted human rights activist, and Executive President, Women In Africa (WIA), Hafsat Abiola-Costello and strategic security and intelligence specialist, Kabir Adamu on Friday's opener.

"All the while an unseen virus haunts the barren streets, threatening to swallow the country whole.

"One question hangs over the city; how did we get here?” producers of Public Eye said in a statement made available to newsmen.

"Daring to provide context to a deadly disease live, @publiceyeng brings the pandemic frontline to you, unedited, untouched, in full colour,” the producers said.

The producers have said the series is designed to answer questions and connect Nigerians irrespective of class, politics, ethnicity, and religion.
