Popular presenter Frank Edoho has returned to host Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Series 2 after four years.

The popular TV host and broadcaster, who anchored the TV show for 13 years, announced his return via Twitter on Monday.

“Hey everyone. I assume you know by now that I have been offered the role of Host of WWTBAM Series 2. My immense gratitude goes to all of you for hoping that I get the job. Thank you for your kind wishes and felicitations. God bless you all. #FrankIsBack #WWTBAMTheReturn.”

The popular game show, originally a British show, was adapted and first aired in Nigeria on October 8, 2004, going off air on June 25, 2017, due to a rumoured lack of funds after its major sponsor MTN pulled out.

Edoho, in 2017, announced his departure from the show, citing disagreement on contractual terms with Ultima Studios.
