“We will reorganise this station but before that, the management will have to give account of the revenue generated from the inception of the present administration.

“This is so that we can return same to the state government coffers,” he said.

Earlier, the Executive Chairman of the stations, Saidu Maishanu appealed to the ministry to be releasing funds for running the stations.

Mr Maishanu’s request followed recent directive by Gov. Bello Matawalle for the station to start generating revenue and make returns to the government.
