Hajiya Hauwwa revealed that she sought the approval of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to revitalize the station’s comatose equipment, recognizing ARTV as the only television station they have and emphasizing the need to reposition it for better service delivery. “The Governor ordered the provision of new equipment, particularly for the program department, and we have already created a conducive atmosphere for our staff in the studio,” she said.

Further elaborating on the improvements, she mentioned the installation of dimmer lights and other essential studio equipment, along with computers, tripods, and wireless routers. “What pleases me most about Governor Abba is his attentiveness to the complaints of the masses. He is committed to repositioning the government,” Hajiya Hauwwa remarked.

She also pointed out that ARTV’s reach is now extended through NIGCOMSAT and StarTimes, with their outside broadcast van proving highly effective for live programs. Additionally, she disclosed that next week, ARTV will begin training both old and new staff on digitalization to enhance the station’s operations.

With these initiatives, Hajiya Hauwwa Isha Ibrahim expressed optimism about ARTV’s future, confident that the station is on the path to becoming a modern and efficient broadcaster under the current administration.
