Sesame Square is the Nigerian version of Sesame Street. It launched in 2011 as West Africa's first Sesame Street adaptation.[1][2] Nigerians produce and voice the series in Standard English. It airs on the Nigerian Television Authority network.[3]

It is the second foreign co-production of Sesame Street to be shown entirely in English, the first being Northern Ireland's Sesame Tree.[citation needed]
