Aledeh’s return represents a major homecoming for the broadcaster, whose career has taken him across some of Nigeria’s biggest media organisations and international platforms since his first stint at Channels Television.

The development is particularly significant for longtime viewers of Sunrise Daily, who will remember Aledeh for his distinctive presentation style, engaging interviews and coverage of major national issues.

Aledeh had left Channels Television in 2017 after several years with the station, subsequently joining Arise News and continuing to build a reputation as a prominent television journalist and interviewer.

In November 2024, Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo appointed him Managing Director of the Edo Broadcasting Service (EBS), the state-owned broadcaster overseeing radio and television operations. The appointment marked a remarkable return to the organisation where Aledeh had actually begun his broadcasting journey as a student.

As head of EBS, Aledeh took on the challenge of repositioning a State broadcaster and making it more competitive in an increasingly digital media environment.

During his tenure, EBS recorded a number of operational changes, including the restoration of its terrestrial television transmission. Aledeh said the station had been off terrestrial transmission and that his team worked with technical experts to reconnect the transmission system, restoring EBS to Channel 45 in Benin City.

EBS also expanded its presence beyond traditional radio and television to include a stronger digital platform, with the broadcaster describing the organisation under Aledeh’s leadership as being repositioned into a more vibrant, modern broadcasting institution.

His time at EBS therefore became another defining chapter in a career that has included work with major Nigerian and international media organisations, including Channels Television, Arise News, and Al Jazeera.

After resigning as EBS Managing Director in May 2026 to focus on the next phase of his professional career, Aledeh’s return to Channels Television now brings his journey full circle.

And for viewers who remember the broadcaster from his earlier days on Sunrise Daily, the significance of the comeback goes beyond a familiar face returning to television.

He returns with years of additional experience — from international journalism and national television to media management and the transformation of a state-owned broadcasting organisation.
