As Fasaha Stream prepares to join Nigeria’s expanding digital media landscape, curiosity continues to rise about the people driving the vision. Behind the brand lies a dynamic team of experienced broadcasters, media strategists, journalists and creatives who once shaped the storytelling culture of Katsina State’s public broadcast institutions.

These seven founding investors represent decades of combined institutional experience from Katsina State Television (KTTV) and Katsina State Radio—now transforming their legacy into a new future for journalism.

Here is a closer look at the faces behind the venture:

 Ahmed Abdulkadir – The Visionary Lead

A veteran broadcaster, journalist and content strategist, Ahmed is credited with igniting the idea that led to the formation of Fasaha Stream. Known for his passion for innovation, journalism and digital transformation, he is spearheading the development of the new platform while ensuring that ethics and professionalism remain core values.

“We want to build a credible and authoritative voice that adapts to new media realities,” he says.

His leadership continues to be the catalyst that moves discussions into action.

 Lawal Ahmad – The Consensus Builder

Respected for his managerial acumen and ability to coordinate diverse viewpoints, Lawal chaired the initial meetings of the pioneer team. With a long career in broadcasting and programme management, he plays a crucial role in shaping governance structures and decision-making processes.

His calm diplomacy has kept the venture on a steady track.

 Sada Salisu Rumah – The Broadcast Strategist

Sada brings a strong background in programme planning, on-air presentation, and content development. His creativity and understanding of audience engagement will be central to Fasaha Stream’s multimedia expansion—especially future YouTube and on-screen productions.

Abba Yusuf Muhammad – The Creative Force

A visual and graphic artist of repute, Abba is the mind behind the Fasaha Stream brand identity, including its official logo. His artistry and digital design skills inject visual soul into the platform, ensuring a modern, relatable look.

His work will define the aesthetic presence of Fasaha Stream going forward.

 Muhammad Abubakar – The Newsroom Engine

Muhammad has years of experience in news reporting, editing and newsroom coordination. His commitment to fact-based journalism and accuracy makes him a strong asset to the editorial wing. He is expected to play a leading role in shaping the newspaper’s content policy and product quality.

 Sadisu Bara’u Imam – The Cultural Voice

Known for his deep grounding in community media and local reportage, Sadisu brings a crucial community perspective to the organization. His experience helps ensure that Fasaha Stream remains rooted in grassroots realities and gives a platform to under-represented voices across Katsina and Northern Nigeria.

 Halima Abbas – The Woman Powering Balance

Halima stands out as a symbol of gender inclusivity and balanced representation. With professional expertise in broadcast operations and presentation, she brings insight into diverse audience needs—particularly women and youth. Her involvement reinforces Fasaha Stream’s commitment to progressive and inclusive content.

Though retired or no longer in traditional broadcast roles, these professionals share a powerful belief:

 Their influence is not over
 Their experience is not outdated
 Their relevance is only evolving

With a test-phase website already active and final touches underway, Fasaha Stream is on course to become:

* A trusted source of credible news
* A voice for community development
* A hub for digital engagement rooted in Northern Nigerian culture

In a media landscape often dominated by flashy experiments and political interests, Fasaha Stream positions itself as a home for integrity, experience and creativity, backed by individuals who have spent their lives mastering the craft.

In the coming weeks, the founding partners are expected to unveil operational structures and release the platform’s first editorial content to the public.
