The Federal Government on Thursday in Abuja launched a new satellite pay television, Silver Lake Television, which it affirmed would yield Nigerians value for money.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, who unveiled the indigenous Nigerian satellite television, Silver Lake Television, at the Shehu Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja, said its establishment aligns with the hopes of Nigerians to “reap from the bountiful harvest awaiting investors in the Nigerian economy.”
Akume, who was represented by his Senior Special Assistant (Technical), Prof. Babatunde Bernard, said the operators of SLTV, Metrodigital Limited, took a patriotic step in setting up the satellite television.
He noted, “In recent times, Nigerians have been yearning for alternatives to Satellite PayTV that can serve as an alternative to the existing ones.
“SLTV has responded very loudly and clearly, and from the information made available to me, they are willing to give their fellow compatriots real value for their money in terms of service quality and affordability.
“Nigeria is an opportunity that is impossible to replicate or find elsewhere in any part of the world. The Federal Government wishes to assure the management of SLTV of her full backing as they continue to do legitimate business in Nigeria’s broadcast industry.”
