The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has appointed Haruna Ibrahim Kakangi as the editor of BBC Hausa Service on a one-year attachment, following two rounds of interviews.
Before his appointment, Kakangi was a Senior Digital Journalist at BBC World Service.
He replaces Aliyu Tanko, who resigned from the BBC in August 2025 following allegations of bullying and maltreatment raised by his former colleague, Halima Umar Saleh, and some current staff members.
