The Village Headmaster (later renamed The New Village Headmaster) is a Nigerian television drama series created by Olusegun Olusola and produced by Dejumo Lewis.[1][2]
Originally a radio drama series, the programme was Nigeria’s longest-running television soap opera shown on the NTA from 1968 to 1988,[3]
and starred Ted Muroko as the original headmaster.[4][5] The television series was developed by Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation, and is considered one of the early successes of television drama in the country.[6]
In 2021, a new revival of the show was announced, with Chris Iheuwa in the lead role of the headmaster.[7] A number of actors from the earlier series are also returning.
