Who Wants to be a Millionaire, popular TV game show, will be going on hiatus in Nigeria after telecommunications company MTN reportedly pulled out as a sponsor.
In a series of tweets, WWTBAM’s official Twitter page announced that the show is effectively off air.
Announcing the temporary break on June 25, Frank Edoho, the show’s host of 13 years, had said MTN “pulled out”.
“Sadly, we are going on a break cos our sponsor pulled out. But we thank @MTNNG for being with us all these years. Please thank them for us,” he had tweeted.
It is yet to be known if Edoho will continue as the host of the game show.
Who Wants to be a Millionaire began airing on Nigerian television in 2004.
