Airopay and Ultima Studio are partnering to return premium game show, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Nigeria, WWTBM, on air.
The show which was rested following the exit of telecom giant, MTN Communications, sponsor of the show, will resume the airwave Sunday, September 3.
Managing Director, Ultima Studios Femi Ayeni, said the new season WWTBM is going to be better and bigger in the sense that the prize money for the ultimate winner will be increased to 15 million naira and there will be an increase in participation.
He noted that with the new partnership, users of other mobile networks are eligible for the Millionaire game show as against the norm where only MTN subscribers can participate but added that they are still working with other networks to bring that to reality soon.
Charles Oyakhilome, Chief Executive Officer of Airoplay, said he was thrilled to partner with Ultima Limited whose passion and dedication to quality and world class production are well known by sponsoring WWTBM Nigeria game show.
“Airoplay and Ultima are convinced that the synergy between Airoplay and WWTBM game show will be beneficial.
“With this new partnership, Airoplay is proud to say that the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire game show is much bigger, richer and better, as Airoplay has increased the winning sums of contestants who make it to the game show’s hot seat and participants of its Home Play segment,” he said.
Airoplay is an international payment operator offering secure, fast and inexpensive way to send and receive money through bank accounts and mobile wallets anywhere in the world.
