According to Leadership newspaper, the APC national chairman said the SLVT operators should be commended for their patriotic action in establishing satellite television in order to offer Nigerians a high-quality, reasonably priced service.

He said:

“We are happy to receive you because everyone, including our party and at the same time the government of the day will benefit from this beautiful innovation.”

In her remark, Onyeri, who led the delegation, stated that the team's visit to the APC headquarters was a component of their engagement with stakeholders from all backgrounds to mobilise support for the local brand in keeping with the "buy-Nigerian" stance.

She also said the visit was to showcase decoders and dishes to the chairman and elucidate the ingenuity and functioning of SLTV, which renders it a superior substitute for pay television for Nigerian viewers.

Onyeri added:

“We are indeed grateful to be back here and to present to the chairman SLTV, the new-age TV network that is truly Indigenous, owned by Nigeria and the parent company is Metro Digital Limited.

“After much legal battle from oppositions, finally on March 7 2024 at Shehu Musa Yaradua Center, we launched the SLTV and the products are already in the market and we have over 58 channels and more are coming.

“This decoder can also work with any dish and it must not be the metro digital dish, and this is something that every Nigerian can afford because once you buy the decoder, the monthly subscription subsequently is 5,000, that is for the Prime which has all the live football channels on it, and we have the cheaper one which is 2500.”

Recall that the federal government, in a bid to offer Nigerians alternatives and enhance competition in the sector, had in March this year unveiled SLTV, an indigenous satellite pay television.

Legit.ng earlier reported that the parent company of MultiChoice Nigeria, MultiChoice Group, disclosed a 30.77% decline in subscriber income from Nigeria for the fiscal year ending in March 2024.

Despite the hike in prices of subscription fees two times, BusinessDay reported that revenue decreased to $341.72 million from $493.59 in the prior year.

The company attributed this decrease to several factors, including increased fuel costs, historically high inflation that is above 33%, and the depreciation of the naira.
