His career began at MG Communications Systems Limited in 1991, where he managed satellite systems across the Eastern Zone. In 1992, he joined DAAR Communications PLC and quickly became a central figure in the evolution of Nigeria’s private broadcasting landscape.
He contributed to the birth of Ray Power 100FM, the country’s first private radio station, and played a defining role in the launch of Africa Independent Television (AIT) in 1996 and expand its frontiers across Ghana, Sierra Leone, the Americas, Europe and Asia.
Over the years, he rose to become Executive Director of Engineering Services and IT at DAAR Communications, a position he held until his retirement in October 2024.
His national contributions include serving on the Presidential Advisory Committee on Nigeria’s transition from analogue to digital broadcasting in 2008, coordinating DAAR Communications’ host broadcaster operations with FIFA during the 2009 U‑17 World Cup, and leading the Broadcast Organizations of Nigeria’s signal distributor bid under MTS Communications Limited in 2014.
At M4STV, Uyah brings a rare combination of engineering excellence, operational discipline, and visionary leadership. His experience in building broadcast networks from the ground up, managing large scale technical teams, and navigating the complexities of digital transformation will be instrumental as M4STV expands its footprint across Africa and beyond.
