Last August, Prime Video launched its service in Nigeria with the unveiling of ‘Gangs of Lagos’ and ‘LOL: Last One Laughing Naija.’
The company titled the streaming platform ‘Prime Video Naija’.
Prime Video said the local streaming service will allow customers to subscribe in naira for the first time.
It added that with N2,300, customers in Nigeria will enjoy access “to a great selection of entertainment, including global Amazon Original movies and TV series, popular Hollywood titles, exclusive Nollywood movies, and local Nigerian originals coming soon.”
Josh McIvor, Prime Video’s director of international expansion, said its investment in Nigeria is part of the company’s plans to widen its reach in Africa and across the globe.
