Nigeria to start free digital TV service for everyone
Sponsored — In Article

The Nigerian government has announced that it will launch FreeTV on Wednesday. This new digital television platform will give households across the country access to free digital TV.

In a statement shared on X, the government said, "FreeTV is part of Nigeria’s Digital Switch-Over programme and is designed to ensure that no Nigerian is left behind as the country moves fully from analogue to digital broadcasting."

Right now, many Nigerians use satellite TV services, which require monthly payments. This makes it hard for some families to access digital TV.

The government mentioned that FreeTV will show Nigerian content and will not charge any monthly subscription fees.
