The Katsina State Radio and Television Service (KTRTV) Board held its third meeting on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at the KTTV headquarters. It was a session full of reflections, updates, and optimism about the future of broadcasting in Katsina.
Board Chairman, Malam Ahmed Abdulkadir, opened the meeting by congratulating the people of Katsina State on the 38th anniversary of the State’s creation. He also extended warm prayers for Governor Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, wishing him success in leading the State forward.
On the progress front, the Chairman highlighted the completed fencing work at Katsina Radio and in-house staff training at KTTV. He was particularly excited about the State Government’s green light for KTTV’s digitization, describing it as a big leap that will boost programme quality and extend the station’s reach.
But the meeting wasn’t just about celebrations—it also brought the realities of daily challenges. The GM of Katsina Radio lamented the struggle with electricity supply, pointing out that the high cost of diesel makes long transmissions nearly impossible.
Meanwhile, KTTV shared some exciting updates. A new ICT unit has been set up to handle social media and digital content. The station has also created a YouTube channel, is working on podcasts, and is building a website. On the infrastructure side, Daura and Funtua sub-stations have been renovated and are set to deploy staff soon, although the Dabawa sub-station remains out of reach due to insecurity. For now, viewers can catch KTTV on StarTimes and NIGCOMSAT.
Wrapping up, Malam Abdulkadir encouraged unity and focus, reminding everyone of the bigger picture: keeping KTRTV at the forefront of broadcasting excellence in Katsina and beyond.
