Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Nigerians who rely on MultiChoice’s DStv and GOtv for their entertainment fix are facing another blow to their wallets. The company recently announced a significant price increase on all their packages, effective May 1st, 2024. This move has sparked outrage among subscribers, prompting Nigeria’s consumer protection agency, the FCCPC, to take action.

The FCCPC has announced a review of MultiChoice’s price hike. Their main concern? Ensuring that Nigerians are getting good value for their money. Acting CEO Adamu Abdullahi emphasized that the agency, along with relevant stakeholders, will be scrutinizing the increase to see if it’s justified.

MultiChoice Blames Rising Costs, But is it Enough?

MultiChoice claims the price hike is necessary due to rising business operation costs. However, many Nigerians are skeptical. This is the third price increase in just over a year, and some question the timing, especially considering MultiChoice’s recent financial reports.

The FCCPC’s Role: Fighting for Consumer Rights

The FCCPC’s intervention is a welcome sign for Nigerian consumers. This agency serves as a watchdog, protecting people from unfair business practices. By reviewing the price hike, the FCCPC can ensure that MultiChoice’s justification holds water and that Nigerians aren’t simply being squeezed for extra cash.

What This Means for You

If you’re a MultiChoice subscriber, here’s the bottom line: the price increase is on hold, for now. The FCCPC’s review will determine if the new prices are fair. Stay tuned for updates on the agency’s decision.
