NTA Director-General, Yakubu Ibn Mohammed, at the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding in Abuja last week, said “As far as the 32nd AFCON is concerned, it is significant for Nigeria because this is the first time the competition is going to feature 24 teams.
“Nigeria is participating for the first time in four years, so NTA feels it has a responsibility to beam the matches to the homes of Nigerians and viewing centres across the country.”
Responding, the President/CEO of HotSports Media Group, Taye Ige, said, “We went into this partnership with Africa’s largest television network to make these tournaments a very memorable viewing experience for Nigerians comparable to what they find in other networks in and outside Nigeria.
