The Kano State Government has reinstated two of the 14 journalists whose accreditations to cover Government House activities were previously revoked.

The journalists, Nasiru Mustapha Danhaki from the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and Simon Enokela from African Independent Television (AIT), were recalled following a standoff between their respective media organisations and the government.

On October 22, 2024, the state government had barred 14 journalists from covering activities at the Government House without providing specific reasons. However, both NTA and AIT declined to send replacements without a clear explanation for the removal of their personnel.

During a meeting with press crew members on Friday, Sanusi Tofa, the spokesperson for Governor Abba Yusuf, confirmed the reinstatement of Danhaki and Simon, stating, “Following the unwillingness of both media organisations to comply with the request of sending replacements without evidence of misconduct, the government was left with no option than to reinstate Danhaki and Simon to avoid further disruption in media coverage activities.”

The reinstated journalists are expected to resume their duties immediately.
