Netflix has dismissed rumors about its exit from Nigeria, reaffirming its commitment to continuing investments in Nigerian storytelling.

Earlier today, social media buzzed with reports suggesting that Netflix was leaving Nigeria, sparking widespread speculation and reactions. The streaming giant had not issued a statement at the time, but following the circulating rumors, a Netflix spokesperson reached out to clarify the situation.

“We are not exiting Nigeria. We will continue to invest in Nigerian stories to delight our members,” the spokesperson said.

This clarification puts to rest the rumors and reaffirms Netflix’s ongoing dedication to Nigerian content. Over the years, the platform has played a crucial role in bringing Nollywood films to a global audience, offering a wide array of local content from romantic comedies to intense dramas. Netflix has also partnered with Nigerian filmmakers, funding original productions like Blood Sisters and Aníkúlápó, both of which have garnered international acclaim. These efforts have solidified Netflix’s position as a significant player in Nigeria’s film and television industry, supporting both established and emerging talent.

With this controversy behind them, one thing remains clear: Netflix is committed to Nigeria. As the platform continues to lead the way, the future of Nigerian streaming looks promising. For now, Nigerians can look forward to more locally produced stories on the platform.
