Kano State based radio and television station, Hikima Radio/TV, has announced the appointment of Mubarak Auwal Unguwa Uku as the acting Head of the Political and New Media Department.
The Independent Mirror reports that the appointment was announced on Thursday by the management of the station.
Before his appointment, Unguwa Uku served as a staff member of the station, where he presented programmes and anchored news bulletins.
He is a graduate of Kano State Polytechnic and is currently continuing his studies for a Higher National Diploma (HND) at the institution.
In a related development, the station also appointed Malam Auwal Mohd Abdulaziz as Acting General Manager, following the resignation of the former General Manager, Abubakar Isa Dandago.
Similarly, Zainab Namadi Haruna has been appointed as Acting Head of Programmes, while Mubarak Auwal Unguwa Uku replaces Aliyu Sufyan Alhassan, who recently resigned from his position.
The appointments are part of management’s efforts to ensure continuity and effective administration as Hikima Radio continues to manage its affairs.
In recent times, several journalists across different media organisations have stepped aside or resigned from their positions, with many going on to establish their own platforms, particularly online newspapers.
