Masawudu, who joined the Accra-based broadcast station as a young reporter with what he described as "ambition in my heart and uncertainty in my mind", confirmed the news on Monday, September 14, 2026.
His post traced a career defined by human-interest storytelling, environmental advocacy, and some of the country's biggest political moments.
Fauzu Masawudu's journey at Citi FM
Among the highlights Fauzu Masawudu recalled was the story of eight-year-old Jalila, whose distressing experience at the hands of a boarding housemistress he brought to public attention, as well as documentary work under the "Rags to Riches" series.
He also covered the 2024 presidential campaign of John Dramani Mahama and Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, who now serve as President and Vice President of Ghana, respectively.
The journalist was candid about the less glamorous side of newsroom life, acknowledging periods of burnout, emotional strain from heavy stories, tight deadlines, and limited resources.
"Was it all rosy? It would be a big fib to say yes," he wrote, before adding that those difficult stretches ultimately shaped him into the journalist he is today.
Despite the challenges, Fauzu Masawudu signed off with unmistakable warmth, expressing gratitude to editors, colleagues, camera operators, drivers, sources, and the audiences who followed his work across the years.
Crucially, the now former Citi FM journalist was clear that his relationship with journalism is far from over but did not share any news about his next destination in the media space.
"This is not goodbye to my greatest love — Journalism," he wrote. "It is simply goodbye to one chapter of my journey."
