Reacting to the report, the General Manager of NTA Kebbi, Ali Garba, described the allegation as a fabrication intended to damage the reputation of the public broadcaster.
“The report claiming poor staff welfare is a pigment of imagination. NTA is known nationwide as a responsible, credible and leading public media organisation with hundreds of reporters across the country,” Garba stated.
He noted that the report attributed the claims to “anonymous staff,” insisting that all employees of NTA are duly documented and identifiable.
“We do not have anonymous staff. Anyone making such claims without identification is not our employee and cannot speak for NTA Kebbi,” he added.

Garba formally distanced the Kebbi station from the publication, stressing that it bears no relationship to the operations or welfare structure of the station.
According to him, despite operational challenges such as irregular power supply and reliance on generating sets, the station remains committed to maintaining staff welfare within available resources.
He further stated that the NTA headquarters remains up to date with welfare obligations to outstation staff across the country.
Call for Transparency
The General Manager challenged the individual or individuals behind the allegation to come forward and identify themselves, maintaining that constructive engagement should be transparent and verifiable.
As reported by The Bureau News, the management reiterated its commitment to professionalism, staff welfare, and the continued delivery of credible broadcasting services in Kebbi State.
