House of Reps orders Multichoice CEO to be immediately tested for COVID-19

The House of Representatives has told Director-General of the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, Dr. Ihekweazu Chikwe, to locate the Chief Executive Officer of Multichoice Nigeria, operators of DSTV, John Ugbe and test him for COVID-19.

This call was made by the ad hoc committee investigating non-implementation of the pay-as-you-go tariff plan by satellite broadcasters and DSTV subscription price increase.

The House Committee also asked the NCDC to, without further delay, commence contact-tracing of passengers in the plane with Ugbe, his staff and those he may have had contact with at the airport.

The Committee reached the resolution following a second letter written by Ugbe to the Committee that he would be unable to appear before it having come down with an illness after arriving Abuja on Tuesday for the meeting.

The letter was signed by Gozie Onumonon, Head of Regulatory Affairs, for the CEO.
