MultiChoice appoints Kemi Omotosho as new CEO
MultiChoice Nigeria has announced the appointment of Kemi Omotosho as its new Chief Executive Officer following the retirement of John Ugbe.
In a statement on Monday, the company said Omotosho will take over from January 2026.
Ugbe is stepping down after almost 15 years at the helm of the pay-TV company, a period during which he guided the business through major changes in the industry and market.
Omotosho brings more than 20 years of experience in media, telecommunications and digital services across Nigeria and other parts of sub-Saharan Africa.
She has previously held senior positions 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.
She most recently served as Regional Director for Southern Africa, where she had full responsibility for operations across seven countries.
Omotosho said she looked forward to leading the company in Nigeria, describing the market as strategic and dynamic.
“It is a privilege to be entrusted with the leadership of MultiChoice Nigeria at this important moment. Nigeria remains one of the Group’s most strategic and dynamic markets.
”I look forward to working with our teams and partners to deepen our relationship with consumers, champion local storytelling and the creative economy, as well as build a future-ready organisation that delivers sustainable value,” she said.
The company added that Ugbe’s retirement and Omotosho’s appointment followed a structured transition process aimed at ensuring continuity and stability.
