A statement from the pay-TV giant on Thursday revealed that the promotion was part of its recent strategic management changes.

Commenting on the promotion, the Chief Executive Officer of West Africa, MultiChoice, Mr John Ugbe, said it reflected the equal career growth opportunity for people across different markets in the MultiChoice Group.

“MultiChoice operates an inclusive workplace that provides equal opportunities to staff irrespective of their gender and nationality, as evidenced by the recent appointments within the group. Omotosho rose through the ranks in the West Africa region of the business, and her appointment attests to active diversity within the group,” he said.
