FG to review fresh price hike of DStv, GOtv packages
The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) says the recent price hike in MultiChoice cable subscriptions will be reviewed by authorized stakeholders to guarantee subscribers in Nigeria get value for their money
The Acting CEO of FCCPC, Adamu Abdullahi, spoke exclusively to Channels Television on its Dateline Abuja programme on Thursday.
During the interview, he provided an update on the summons issued to the owner of a Chinese store in Abuja accused of discriminatory and sharp practices.
He also commented on the adherence to the order given to the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, stating that sanctions are imminent for all verified infractions identified by the agency.
MultiChoice, a major satellite television service in Sub-Saharan Africa based in South Africa, recently announced fresh increases in prices on the DSTV and GOtv packages, saying the increase was necessitated by the rise in the cost of business operations.
According to the company, the increment would take effect on May 1, 2024.
The Premium package on DSTV which used to cost N29,500, would now go for N37,000, while the Compact Plus which currently goes for N19,800, has been increased to N25,000.
