Bolaji said the company had succeeded in breaking the monopoly in the pay TV market and pledged that it would sustain the drive until every home in Nigeria had access to digital TV services. According to him “We came up with the idea of this promo as a major investment of Startimes in the sporting activities. We will offer customers free trip to watch football live in German league. We considered it a very engaging to entertain the youths.

It boasts of the largest stadium in the world with over 40,000 football spectators in every match with fans from about 200 countries across the world. The idea is to reach out to every StarTimes customer in Nigeria.”

Apart from this, we are also working on Serial E league, which starts from next week. We are also committed to bring more football content to Nigerian viewers. We are not only doing football in the digital platform but other programmes. We all know Nigerians like football and we want them to enjoy it in full measure.”
