Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umar Radda, has approved the immediate removal of the General Manager of Katsina State Television (KTTV), Malam Abba Zayyan, over alleged poor performance and failure to meet the administration’s expectations.
The decision, according to the state government, followed Zayyan’s inability to align the station’s operations with the administration’s Building Your Future Agenda, despite substantial government investment aimed at transforming KTTV into a modern broadcasting organisation.
Governor Radda expressed dissatisfaction with the station’s performance, noting that the government had invested in modern broadcasting equipment, infrastructure upgrades and institutional support to improve its operations and bring it up to international standards.
He said the investments were intended to reposition KTTV as a professional and competitive television station capable of effectively communicating government policies, programmes and development initiatives to residents of Katsina State and beyond.
However, the governor observed that the station had continued to operate below expectations despite the resources and support provided by the administration.
Following the removal, Governor Radda directed the most senior officer at KTTV to assume responsibility as Acting General Manager pending the appointment of a substantive replacement.
The governor thanked Malam Abba Zayyan for his service to Katsina State and wished him success in his future endeavours.
