Let’s get you home after your long day! Starting this Monday, 15th Apr,” she wrote.
Okwara will replace Annitah Raey, who will now host, Sizzle on Hot, a programme that airs Monday to Friday from 10 pm to 1 am.
“Well well you know am not one to censor anything… And now I get an amazing chance to talk it as it is. No sugar coating… It’s gonna be sizzling hot… See you on Monday ,” she wrote in a post on Instagram.
Okwara has also previously worked at Nation Media Group as a radio talk show producer and later joined NTV where she started the NTV This Morning Show. He later moved to KTN.
