Bauchi State has lost one of its most respected broadcast professionals with the death of Malam Dalhat Hamid Bello, the General Manager of Albishir Radio.

Reacting to the development, Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed described the late broadcaster as a pillar of ethical journalism and a committed public servant whose impact on the state’s media landscape would be long remembered.

According to the governor, Malam Dalhat rose through the broadcasting profession with discipline and dedication, serving in various capacities before his appointment as General Manager of Albishir Radio.
