WATCH THE VIDEO HERE The founder of Telecom Satellites Limited (TSTV), Bright Echefu, has unveiled another Pay TV called LUFT TV, years after abandoning thousands of customers on a similar project, TSTV. At the launch on Sunday in Abuja, Echefu said the new pay TV will cater to the terms of subscribers and promises to provide the finest entertainment in Nigeria and the rest of Africa. He added that its satellites already have a footprint across all of West Africa, implying that West Africans can connect to LUTF TV. “LUFT TV is built on cutting-edge technology, delivering crystal-clear HD quality, flexibility to watch on multiple devices, and a subscription plan that is currently the most affordable compared to other existing pay TVs. Our entertainment is on your own terms, anytime, anywhere,” he said. Echefu, however, spoke about TSTV, which has remained off the radar since 2020, saying it is not dead. He hinted that TSTV subscribers would soon be onboarded onto LUFT TV. “Some time ago, we had TSTV. TSTV is going to come back. It’s not dead, no. I just want to announce that TSTV is not dead. And soon, very, very soon, subscribers of TSTV will be on LUTF TV. So, we haven’t lost anything,” he said. Speaking at the event, the Governor of Nasarawa State, Engineer Abdullahi A. Sule, lauded Echefu for being “a focused individual with a great mind.” On his part, Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State supported the local initiative embodied in LUFT Pay TV. He said that while no platform should be discouraged, it should be able to offer people qualitative options at very affordable prices. “We must be able to share profits with the people who make business profitable. I therefore salute this initiative, and I want to encourage Nigerians to patronize LUTF TV,” he said. TSTV, a satellite TV company launched by Echefu, was expected to challenge the monopolistic tendencies of Multichoice, owners of DStv and GOtv in Nigeria. Echefu denies the allegation, maintaining that the case being prosecuted by the EFCC is a civil loan issue between them and Mr. Tanimu, MD of Kalsiyam Global, and also a former Minister of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs. The matter is still pending.
