Media personality Abubakar Abdullahi after four years as TV47’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), has formally resigned.
Abdullahi announced in a statement that he is leaving the media industry to pursue other interests.
Before taking on the position of Chief Executive Officer following the departure of his predecessor Eugene Anangwe, he was employed by the station as a Chief Editor.
“After four flowery years, I am leaving TV47 to pursue other interests.
“Thank you all for the support you offered me during my tenure first as Chief Editor and subsequently as the Chief Executive Officer.
“To my wonderful colleagues, this is my message to you,” Abdullahi said in part.
Abdullahi went on to narrate his stay at TV47, acknowledging the progress the station has made in the competitive media landscape.
“It has been a lifetime honour and privilege to serve as your chief Editor and subsequently as your Chief Executive officer for the last four years. When I took over the leadership of the company we deeply love, I made a commitment that we will fight for our spot in Kenya’s competitive media landscape.
“I am proud that we have made tremendous progress together. We were ranked the fastest-growing TV in Kenya and our numbers continue to grow,” he wrote.
