In less than two months after leaving on air, the popular TV game show, Who wants to be a Millionaire is said to begin this Sunday.

The show is said to have been revamped according to a statement by the show's producer, Ultima Studio Limited. This change is brought following a partnership with Airopay, a global international payments operator.

In accordance with this change, Femi Ayeni, the Managing Director of Ultima Studio Limited, made it known to the public that the show's anchor, Frank Edoho will be replaced.

The presenter may not be returning as a host this time around but he remains a part of the team. We will also encourage him to partake in the auditions which will see us have a befitting replacement if need be.

We will be getting a younger presenter but Frank remains a part of the WWTBM. We will air highlights from captivating past editions of the show for about 5 weeks until we get a new anchor for the show, Mr. Femi Ayeni said.
