Multichoice Reverses Price Hike for DStv and GOtv Subscriptions
Reversal After Losing Subscribers*: Following a court order and a significant loss of subscribers (over 1.2 million), Multichoice has reverted to its old subscription rates for DStv and GOtv
Initial Price Hike: The company had previously increased prices due to rising operational costs, effective May 1, 2024
Court Order: The Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal ruled in favor of a case filed by Festus Onifade on behalf of Nigerian consumers, directing Multichoice to revert to the old prices
New Prices: The revised prices now reflect the previous rates, with DStv Premium at N29,500, Compact+ at N19,800, and GOtv Supa+ at N12,500, among others
Uncertainty on Free Subscription: It remains unclear if Multichoice will comply with the court’s directive to offer a month of free subscription as part of the ruling
