One of the world’s leading Subscription Video on Demand (SVoD) service providers for emerging markets, iflix, has announced its entry into the Nigerian market.
The tech firm said its subscribers would enjoy variety of programmes on its platform aimed for their enjoyment.
Speaking in Lagos yesterday at the launch, Country Manager of Iflix Nigeria, Ms Ngozi Madueke-Dozie, noted that her company offers what other competitors already in the market do not give their subscribers.
“We are different and our customers are assured of getting quality services for their money. We have programmes ranging from sports, entertainment, shows for kids and several others; all below N800 per month,” Ms Madueke-Dozie told newsmen.
