Content company, BBC Studios on Wednesday, announced that it has secured a major deal with streaming service, ARISEPlay, in Nigeria.

The commercial subsidiary of the BBC disclosed this a few minutes ago via its Instagram handle, @bbcstudios.

ARISEPlay, since its unveiling in March this year by Africa’s leading media and luxury brand, ARISE MEDIA GROUP, has continued to boast of a bold new identity while showcasing the best in worldwide entertainment from Hollywood to Nollywood.

In a statement from the group signed by its Brand and Marketing Lead, Sakina Renneye, ARISEPlay features all of ARISE’s industry-leading original productions.
