The Federal Government has set plan in motion to send MultiChoice- owners of DSTV/GOTV out of Nigeria.
The indication came as Nigeria Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) has said it will not renew its license when it expires in 2019.
Multichoice operating license will expires in June 2019.
According to a statement issued on Tuesday, by the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation(NBC), the license issued to Multichoice in 2014 will not be renewed because the cable TV is not on the same page with the Federal Government on Digital Switch Over (DSO) White Paper.
If Multichoice DSTV/GOTV will ever operate in Nigeria again after expiration of its license, the only option left for them is to go to licensed Signal Distribution company, that is Pinnacle Communications Ltd or ITS.
GOTV has been accused of being used as a conduit to siphon foreign exchange from Nigeria by its parent company, South African Multi Choice DSTV.
