Nwafor said they would focus on quality service delivery on low cost as well as bring in many innovations, leveraging on the latest technologies.

He stated that they had waited till now to bring numerous things to Nigerians as a way of entertainment at very reasonable rates.

“The total package up to 55 channels including sports, news for only 5,000 naira a month,” Nwafor said.

He commended the federal government for trying so hard to change the provisions of the law and the National Broadcasting Commission(NBC) code, which gave room to alternative competition, and facilitated the emergence of SLTV.

On sustainability, Nwafor assured that the company was experienced enough to stay in competition.

“As a matter of fact, Metrodigital is the first company to do digital television transmission in Nigeria and that was in 2004. We’ve been around for 20 years and will continue.

“Our message to Nigerians is that there is an alternative. They can now get all those services at very good quality at very reasonable prices,” he said.

Mr Charles Ebuebu, Director General, National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), also in an interview, noted the various challenges of past years.

He said that as NBC and regulator in the broadcast sector, they had looked at all issues and would review their policies to provide a viable and competitive broadcast sector where everyone would thrive.

“We are looking at creating that ecosystem that would allow business to thrive basically,” Ebuebu said.
