A veteran journalist, Abba Ado Gwarzo has passed away.

He was an Editor and Current Affairs Programme Producer at the Nigerian Television Authority Kano (NTA) where he started his career in 1978.

After his retirement from NTA, the deceased joined African Independent Television (AIT).

In a statement on Friday, Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said the death was a huge loss to the journalism profession, Kano and Nigeria.
