Mrs Amkpa acknowledged the vendors and other members of the GOtv value chain for their collaborative efforts which have made the GOtv service accessible in several neighbourhoods in the territories in which the service is available.

“Our vendors are an important channel in the GOtv value chain. We are excited to see the progress you have made, from purchasing as little as five decoders when you started to over a hundred units at the minimum currently. By your efforts, potential subscribers all around the cities in which GOtv signals are live can easily access GOtv and enjoy exciting quality digital entertainment and we are appreciative of your support”, Mrs Amkpa said.

Mr Ismaila Sulaimon Ayinde of Segabiz Nigeria Enterprises and Mrs. Bolanle Adegbenro of Ofemina Concept were awarded special prizes of branded tricycles popularly called Keke for outperforming others, citing them as role models for other GOtv vendors to emulate.

Her in words, “I want to thank GOtv not just for the Keke for giving the opportunity to become a vendor. Since I started selling GOtv I have become better enlightened.
