MultiChoice Nigeria has appointed Kemi Omotosho as its new Chief Executive Officer, following the retirement of John Ugbe, the company said in a statement on Monday.
The appointment will take effect from January 2026, marking a leadership transition at the pay-TV operator after nearly 15 years under Ugbe, who oversaw the business through significant shifts in Nigeria’s media and entertainment landscape.
Ugbe stepped down after a long tenure during which MultiChoice Nigeria navigated rapid digital transformation, changing consumer habits and intensifying competition within the pay-TV and streaming markets.
Omotosho brings more than two decades of experience spanning media, telecommunications and digital services across Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa. She has held several senior roles within the MultiChoice Group, including Executive Head of Customer Value Management in Nigeria and Group Executive Head of Customer Value Management for the Rest of Africa.
