Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, has approved the immediate dismissal of Katsina State Television (KTTV) General Manager, Malam Abba Zayyan, citing a failure to align the state station with his administration’s developmental agenda.
The decision was announced on Tuesday in a statement by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Ibrahim Mohammed. According to the government, substantial funds had been injected into upgrading KTTV’s infrastructure and equipment to meet international broadcasting standards. However, Governor Radda expressed disappointment that the broadcaster continued to perform below expectations, failing to effectively communicate state policies and achievements.
To ensure seamless operations, Governor Radda directed the station’s most senior officer to step in as acting General Manager, while expressing appreciation to the outgoing head for his past service.
