FCT CP Drums Support For SLTV, Nigerian Satellite Pay TV

Benneth Igweh, FCT Police Commissioner has expressed support for SLTV, an indigenous Nigerian pay television.

The Police boss said approval has been given for the  installation of  decoders and satellite dish of  SLTV in all  the police division under FCT Command, in  patronage of  the Nigerian brand.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the police commissioner made the approval when a delegation of the team and partners of Metrodigital Limited, operators of SLTV paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja.

Igweh, who received the visitors in company of his management team, directed that all six Area Commands in the territory should also benefit from the gesture, including the command headquarters.

The FCT police boss commended SLTV for providing  an indigennous alternative  to  exorbitant and  monopolistic satellite pay TV service providers.”

According to him, procuring the decoders is not just a demonstration  of support for the  brand, but to ensure that  officers and men across the FCT have access to timely news and information in the office.

“We must appreciate and support our own  that has come  to ensure that Nigerians enjoy good and affordable pay TV service, and we are providing this to all our Area Commands and Divisions.

“However, I want SLTV to work harder so that we can have Pay AS You Go  in Nigeria as obtainable in other climes,” the police commissioner said.

Earlier in her remark, Princess Nikky Onyeri, Chief Operating Officer of  Camroll Quest Ltd, who lead the delegation to the Command headquarters, said  the visit was to explain the operations of SLTV to the Police boss.

She said the meeting was also an opportunity to thank the CP for lending his support for indigenous brands by attending the Post SLTV Launch reception held over the weekend in Abuja.

Onyeri who presented decoders and dishes to the Police boss said   SLTV offers over 50 HD channels, including 10 sports channels.

She added that it shows  live football matches from the Premier League, Champions League, La Liga, Seria A, and UEFA, among others, with a monthly subscription ranging from N2,5000 and N5,000.

“The Police are critical stakeholders in all aspects of our national life, and SLTV wants to work with it as a worthy partner in our collective service to our nation,” she said.

NAN recalls that the Federal Government, in a bid to offer Nigerians alternatives and enhance competition in the satellite pay television sector, had in March this year  unveiled SLTV, an indigenous satellite pay television.

The launch event, held at the Shehu Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja, saw the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, stating that “SLTV would provide Nigerians with real value for their money.”

He commended Metrodigital Limited, the operators of SLTV, for their patriotic initiative and expressed the Federal Government’s full support for the venture.

Just two months after the launch, SLTV has already gained popularity and acceptance among teeming Nigerian subscribers to the pay TV service because of its relatively low packages.(NAN)
