Trust TV secured the Best TV Production in Documentary/Feature (English) award at the second Broadcasting Awards. The winning piece, "The Last Cotton Factory in Funtua," examines the collapse of Nigeria's once‑vibrant textile sector through the lens of the final cotton processing plant in Funtua, Katsina State. The documentary combines vivid footage with thorough reporting to portray the economic and social fallout of the industry's decline, which historically provided substantial employment and spurred industrial growth in the north. It also showcases the perseverance of the remaining workers and the broader impact on surrounding communities.
Group Editorial Director and Editor‑in‑Chief of Media Trust Group, Ibrahim Shehu, said the accolade "is a testament to the organisation's commitment to telling authentic Nigerian stories that matter, while shining a light on underreported issues." The recognition reinforces Trust TV's standing as a leading broadcaster for documentary and feature storytelling. As a subsidiary of Media Trust Group, the channel continues to broaden its original programming slate, emphasizing documentaries, current‑affairs pieces and human‑interest stories that appeal to a wide audience.
