MultiChoice Nigeria names Kemi Omotosho as new Chief Executive Officer

According to the company, Ugbe’s exit is a planned retirement rather than a sudden departure. The transition is a structured succession process designed to ensure continuity in leadership and operations. 

Omotosho brings significant expertise 

With over 20 years of experience in media, telecommunications and digital services in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa, Omotosho brings significant expertise to the role.  

She has previously held various 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 wider African region. 

Most recently, she served as Regional Director for Southern Africa, overseeing operations across seven countries. 

In her new role, Omotosho will oversee MultiChoice Nigeria’s strategy, day-to-day operations and engagement with regulators, partners and other stakeholders. 

Speaking on her appointment, Omotosho said: “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.”
