The Nigerian government has alerted the management of MultiChoice DSTV/GOTV that their operations in Nigeria will come to an end in 2019 as their license expires June next year.
According to a letter to that effect issued on Tuesday, February 6, 2018, by the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation, NBC, the license issued to them in 2014 by NBC will not be renewed because it was not in line with Digital Switch Over, DSO, White Paper.
The letter was obtained by Daily Times.
If Multichoice DSTV/GOTV will ever operate in Nigeria again after expiration of its license, the only option left for them is to approach a licensed Signal Distribution company, that is Pinnacle Communications Ltd or ITS for a deal.
GOTV has been accused of being used as a conduit to siphon foreign exchange from Nigeria by its parent company, South African MultiChoice DSTV.
