"As some maybe aware, the station has moved on to a different direction which meant closing down of our Newsroom😢. I was honoured and privileged to lead a team of more than 25 young, innovative, smart, creative and extremely hard-working individuals, who I'm sure, will excel in whichever field God will lead them to,” reads part of his post.
