Netflix, a global movie streaming service, has refuted reports that it is leaving Nigeria and emphasized its commitment to the nation’s creative scene.
This followed fabricated rumors that claimed Netflix had left the West African nation because of poor economic conditions and low user numbers.
The streaming behemoth emphasized in a statement to TechCabal that it is still dedicated to its business in Nigeria in spite of rumors stoked by regulatory demands and economic difficulties.
We won’t be leaving Nigeria. To please our members, we will keep making investments in the nation’s tales,” the business said.
Since its 2016 introduction in Nigeria, Netflix has been instrumental in introducing local content to a worldwide audience. Millions of people worldwide have been exposed to Nigeria’s rich storytelling thanks to the platform’s sponsorship of multiple Nigerian productions.
This commitment demonstrates Netflix’s determination to be active and support expansion in Nigeria’s entertainment sector.
