NIGCOMSAT, Others To Begin New Paytv, Break DSTV Monopoly by umbo: 8:45pm On Sep 06, 2019
NextTv, a new media and
entertainment platform, is set to
challenge the monopoly enjoyed by
South Africa’s Multichoice Digital
Satellite TV’s (DStv) monopoly in
Nigeria’s payTV market.

The platform, a joint venture
partnership between Nigus
International, Nigerian
Communications Satellite Limited
(NIGCOMSAT) and China Great Wall
Industry Corporation (CGWIC)
pledged to make satellite television
affordable with quality service

Under the new arrangement, Nigus
International will be the lead partner
holding a 75 percent equity stake,
while NigComSat holds 15 percent
equity and CGWIC holding 10 percent
equity stake.

NOMINATE AFRICAN OF THE
YEAR 2019
The Minister of Communication,
Adebayo Shittu, while speaking at
the launch of the satellite service
provider to the NigComSat Direct-To-
Home (DTH) platform in Abuja, urged
Nigerians to patronise and invest in
the company.
He said the partnership within the
next few years would produce about
1.5 million set-up boxes and in doing
that many more Nigerians will get
jobs.
He assured management of the
satellite television of government’s
support to ensure that the new
partnership makes huge entry into
the market.
Executive Chairman of NextTV, Mr.
Malik Ado-Ibrahim, said, “We have
flexibility from the market giving us
tremendous opening to reach large
number of people. So we are very
comfortable that Nigerians and
Africa in general would be able to
access our service and get quality
entertainment contents.
“NexTV is not just about
entertainment but satellite
communication, broadband
connectivity and accessing digital
content through different platform
across Africa. That is why we
launched the OGT service and i think
that is where we are going to be
successful. There is mobility where
you don’t need a TV but a
smartphone to access contents,”
Ado-Ibrahim said.
