The Federal High Court in Abuja has issued an order halting Multichoice Nigeria Limited’s planned price hike for its DStv and GOtv subscription services, which was scheduled to take effect on May 1, 2024.
Last week, Multichoice announced its intention to increase prices due to rising operating costs in Nigeria. According to the company’s CEO, John Ugbe, the new subscription fees would be as follows:
DStv Packages:
* Premium: N37,000 (from N29,500)
* Compact+: N25,000 (from N19,800)
* Compact: N15,700 (from N12,500)
* Confam: N9,300 (from N7,400)
* Yanga: N5,100 (from N4,200)
* Padi: N3,600 (from N2,950)
* HDPVR Access: N5,000 (from N4,000)
GOtv Packages:
* Supa Plus: N15,700 (from N12,500)
* Supa: N9,600 (from N7,600)
* Max: N7,200 (from N5,700)
* Jolli: N4,850 (from N3,950)
* Jinja: N3,300 (from N2,700)
* Smallie: N1,575 (from N1,300)
This marks the third time that Multichoice has increased subscription fees in the past year. The court order comes as a relief to subscribers who have expressed concerns about the affordability of the new prices. CONTINUE READING
