The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has directed MultiChoice Nigeria, the operator of DStv and GOtv, to maintain its current subscription prices pending the conclusion of an ongoing investigation into the company’s proposed tariff adjustment.
FCCPC disclosed this in a statement on Thursday by its Director of Corporate Affairs, Ondaje Ijagwu.
The directive follows MultiChoice’s request for an extension regarding its scheduled appearance before the commission over concerns surrounding its recurring price increases.
MultiChoice had notified its customers on Monday of the impending price adjustment, citing a review of its pricing structure.
While the company stated that the changes were necessary to continue delivering world-class content, the development sparked concerns from subscribers.
Under the proposed adjustment, the DStv Compact package would be increased, while the Compact Plus and Premium bouquets would remain at N30,000 and N44,500, respectively.
In its notice titled “Price Adjustments for DStv and GOtv Packages,” the company said, “Dear Customer, please note that effective March 1, 2025, there will be a price adjustment on all DStv packages.
