Speaking on the new partnership, Chief Commercial Officer, Airtel Nigeria, Femi Oshinlaja, highlighted its significance towards transforming digital entertainment in Nigerian homes.

“At Airtel, our goal to bridge the digital gap includes the provision of affordable entertainment content.

It’s an exciting step toward our mission of creating a digitally inclusive Africa.”
