The Federal Government last Thursday launched a new pay TV, Silver Lake Television (SLTV), affirming that it would provide Nigerians with value for money.
Speaking at the unveiling, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, stated that its establishment aligns with the aspirations of Nigerians to “benefit from the abundant opportunities awaiting investors in the Nigerian economy.”
“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 regarding service quality and affordability,” Akume said.
“Nigeria is an opportunity that is impossible to replicate or find elsewhere. The Federal Government wishes to assure the management of her full backing as they continue to do legitimate business in Nigeria’s broadcast industry.”
