AUGUST 2009 ISSUE 20
MultiChoice entered the Nigerian market 15 years ago with its pay television service and is now reaping the fruits of its long-term investment strategy. In this month's edition of the TradeInvestNigeria newsletter, John Young interviews Joseph Hundah, MultiChoice Nigeria managing director to learn more about the company's experiences in Nigeria. We also discuss the recent developments in Nigeria's banking sector and how the removal of five bank CEOs and the announcement of a N400 billion bailout package will help stabilise the sector. In addition we feature a profile on Dew Insight, a company that specialises in delivering premium staff training courses, and Kayode Odunaro writes about the work the House of Representatives has done to improve confidence in Nigeria's capital market.
