She had started as an intern at the media station, a role she executed for one year before she was promoted.
In a series of posts on her Twitter account, Nkonge said that words and photos could not sum up her journey at the media house.
"Working for NTV has honestly been one of my many dreams come true. I came in as a young intern and though leaving a few years later I have grown in leaps and bounds as a journalist.
"I am grateful for the lessons, the impactful stories I managed to do and the people I met in the midsts of it all. To my colleagues and editors, thank you for what has been an amazing and momentous chapter in my life. Really excited for the new chapter and new beginning," she said.
