The Katsina State 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.

Governor Radda said the 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 expectation 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.
