Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, has relieved the General Manager of Katsina State Television (KTTV), Abba Zayyan, of his appointment over alleged poor performance and failure to effectively publicise the state government’s programmes and achievements.
The removal, which takes immediate effect, was announced on Tuesday in a statement issued by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Ibrahim Mohammed.
According to the statement, Zayyan was sacked for allegedly failing to align the television station’s operations with the administration’s Building Your Future Agenda, despite the government’s investments in the station.
Governor Radda expressed disappointment over what he described as the station’s poor performance, noting that his administration had provided modern broadcasting equipment, upgraded infrastructure and other necessary support to improve its operations.
He said the investments were aimed at strengthening the station’s broadcasting capacity, improving service delivery and ensuring that residents of the state were adequately informed about government activities.
However, the governor lamented that KTTV had failed to meet expectations, particularly in communicating government policies, programmes and achievements to the people of Katsina State and other audiences.
Radda maintained that the government’s investment in the station was intended to improve its standards and enable it to perform its responsibility as a public broadcaster.
Following Zayyan’s removal, the governor directed the most senior officer in the television station to immediately assume duties as acting General Manager pending the appointment of a substantive replacement.
The governor also appreciated Zayyan for his services to the state and wished him success in his future endeavours.
