In a surprising turn that has sparked buzz across Ghana’s media circles, former Metro TV presenter Riyah Abdul has finally opened up about her much-talked-about relocation to Nigeria, revealing the motivations and ambitions behind her bold career move.
Riyah Abdul, known for her vibrant on-screen presence and commanding delivery during her time at Metro TV, left many fans and colleagues stunned when news broke that she had quietly exited the Ghanaian television scene. For weeks, speculation swirled online about her sudden disappearance from local screens — but now the celebrated broadcaster has set the record straight.
According to Riyah, the move to Nigeria was not a spur-of-the-moment decision but rather a carefully considered step aimed at expanding her career opportunities in Africa’s largest entertainment and media market.
