The Chief Executive Officer of StarTimes Nigeria, Mr. Justin Zhang, has congratulated Nigerians in a goodwill message to mark the occasion of the country’s 57th independence anniversary.
In a statement signed by the Chief Executive Officer, StarTimes, Justin Zhang stated that Nigeria’s greatness cannot be halted, irrespective of any challenges the country may have. He noted that StarTimes will continue to align with the vision of the founding fathers, past heroes, statesmen and leaders at all levels on providing the basic necessities to every Nigerian, which he said includes affordable entertainment.
He said as Nigeria marches on towards social, economic and technological greatness, StarTimes acknowledges the role technology plays, especially communication technology in shaping the cultural life of the people.
“While we celebrate with all Nigerians on this special day, we are also proud to note that the Nigerian government through her investment in communication technologies has wittingly subscribed to the time tested tenets that building social cohesion and trust between the nation and its people remain the veritable anchor for progress and development for all to rely and be proud as a nation.
“At StarTimes, we understand how important communication is, as a vehicle of cohesion, hence we have developed and deployed cross cultural programs and projects that cut across social and political barriers at very affordable prices for our subscribers and viewers.”
“As partners with the Federal Government in the ongoing digitalization process, StarTimes has expanded its presence in Nigeria with the setting up of digital television manufacturing plant in the country, thereby driving home its commitments to the project and at the same time give credence to the government’s local contents policy while creating more jobs across the country.” The statement read.
StarTimes would further deepen its engagement with the people of Nigeria, especially in rural communities as demonstrated by its flagship corporate social responsibility initiative dubbed ‘Digital Village Project’ to Hulumi in Abuja.
