The development was disclosed in a filing on the Nigerian Exchange signed by the company secretary, Olamide Babawale-Mo, according to the document filed on February 9, 2026.
According to the disclosure, the investment was made by RGM Materials Solutions Limited in exchange for a 10 percent equity stake in Tantainment Limited, based on a recent valuation of about ₦30 billion for the subsidiary and its flagship live-game show platform, “Chances by Tantainment,” expected to go live by the second quarter of 2026.
The company said the investment represents a major milestone in its ongoing transformation strategy, reflecting investor confidence in Tantainment’s business model, intellectual property portfolio, and long-term prospects within Nigeria’s growing entertainment and digital content ecosystem.
Proceeds from the investment will be deployed toward acquiring studio equipment, completing works on the Ikeja-based “Chances Live Studios,” developing proprietary entertainment content, and strengthening operational, regulatory, and compliance frameworks.
Tantainment Limited serves as the group’s entertainment vehicle, focusing on live-game shows, digital content, media production, and technology-driven audience engagement platforms, with its flagship show positioned as a key growth driver.
Chairman of Tantalizers Plc, Alhaji Adam Nuru, said the transaction validates the board’s strategic decision to scale the subsidiary as a standalone growth platform, adding that it reflects strong investor confidence in the company’s governance reforms and business direction.
The board also noted that the equity investment aligns with its broader plan to unlock shareholder value by nurturing and scaling high-growth subsidiaries, while continuing to pursue operational efficiency and expansion into complementary sectors.
