The General Manager of Katsina State Television (KTTV), Abba Zayyan, has formally tendered his resignation.
Zayyan’s resignation is contained in a letter dated November 2, 2026, addressed to the Secretary to the Government of Katsina State
The media guru who said his resignation was for personal reasons, thanked Governor Dikko Umar Radda for the confidence reposed in him to serve the state in that capacity in the last three years.
