The experts stated this on Friday in Lagos at a town hall meeting for entrepreneur organised by Dr. Strive Masiyiwa, the Chairman of KweseTV, the latest entrant into Nigeria’s pay-TV sector.
Dr. Masiyiwa noted that there was reduction in the manufacturing of television sets yearly, saying most of TV manufacturers were now into smartphone manufacturing.
He said, “TV sets manufacturers have since cut down on the number of TVs they produce annually, because the world’s smartest people now watch the TV on their smartphones. The smartest Original Equipment Manufacturers are now producing smartphones just to remain in business.
“In less than 10 years from now, most Nigerian will watch television on their mobile phones as the cost of data will come down, just as the cost of smartphone is coming down.”
