Resignation –TV47 Chief Executive Officer CEO Abubakar Abdullahi has, today March 27, resigned from office after a three-year stint.
Mr. Abubakar was appointed acting CEO of the then-budding TV station in July 2020 and guided it to become one of the most popular media channels in the country rivaling the pioneer stations like KTN and NTV.
His resignation, according to a source, has something to do with his recent demotion to a mere Head of TV – a position he held until he left the Cape Media-owned broadcaster.
Asked why he had to quit despite the progress, the former CEO revealed that he had left Tv47 to pursue other career interests.
In his last message to his colleagues, Abubakar thanked the team for the accomplishments they made together through the years.
“We were ranked the fastest-growing TV in Kenya and our numbers continue to grow.
“At the heart of my philosophy has been to create a humane company that puts the interest of its staff members first,” he revealed this secret to the success that was enjoyed by the station.
The Cape Media is currently on a hiring spree as it works to revolutionize the radio industry with the new radio station – Radio 47 – which has poached big talents from Standard Group-owned Radio Maisha.
