We care about local content that can compete anywhere in the world; this is why we have aligned ourselves with Olamide.”

Adedeji commended Play for its commitment to the creative industry in Nigeria. “I would like to thank Play TV for choosing to work with me and bring me onboard for this project. For me, this is a ground-breaking move. It’s a major thing for Nigeria. It’s a major thing for Africa,” he said.

When asked what content he has planned for Play TV, he said: “I won’t let the cat out of the bag. That’s our selling point.”

Adedeji was welcomed by staff of Play and other Play TV ambassadors, including TV presenter Labi Olayori and Nollywood actress Adediwura Adesegha (aka Blarkgold).
