Katsina Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, has approved the immediate removal of the General Manager of Katsina State Television (KTTV), Malam Abba Zayyan, with immediate effect.
The decision followed his inability to key into the “Building Your Future” Agenda of the administration, despite massive investment by the State Government to reposition KTTV to international standards.
The notice was contained in a Press statement by Ibrahim Kaila Mohammed, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Dikko Umar Radda
Governor Radda said his administration had provided modern equipment, upgraded infrastructure and full institutional support to make KTTV a vibrant, professional and competitive station capable of projecting Katsina positively.
He expressed disappointment that the station has continued to operate below expectations and has failed to effectively communicate government policies and programmes to the people of Katsina State and the wider audience.
The Governor has directed the most senior officer of the station to take over in an acting capacity, pending the appointment of a substantive General Manager.
He, however, thanked Malam Abba Zayyan for his service to the State and Zonal, and wished him well in his future endeavours.
Meanwhile, as the sack letter circulates within the press, Abba Zayyad, the said sacked manager of the KTTV, quickly produced a resignation letter he wrote and tendered on the 2nd of November to the Secretary to the State Government
Abba claimed he voluntarily resigned on the 2nd of November, before the sacking letter which the press secretary issued today, 10th November.
Before his appointment in 2023 as the KTTV manager, Abba Zayyad, a seasoned broadcaster, was the Kaduna Zonal Manager for the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN).
