One of Africa’s leading pay-TV platforms, MultiChoice, has announced an increase in the prices of both its DStv and GOtv packages, citing rising operational costs as the reason.
MultiChoice made the announcement last Monday in a statement titled “Price adjustment on DStv and GOtv packages”. The statement was signed by its Chief Executive Officer, John Ugbe, disclosing that the new prices will take effect from March 1.
The statement revealed each bouquet on GOtv and DStv with its new price, “Dear valued partner, please be informed of the price adjustment to our DStv and GOtv subscription packages effective 1st March 2025.”
The company explained that the increase is a result of the economic challenges it continues to face in Nigeria and that the decision was made after careful consideration and analysis.
“Due to prevalent economic factors leading to increased operational costs, we have unavoidably had to adjust the prices of our DStv and GOtv subscription packages. We understand the impact this change may have on our valued partners, and we have only taken this step after careful consideration and in-depth analysis,” the statement stated.
MultiChoice assured its customers that it will continue delivering the best entertainment and top-notch service, while also thanking them for their continuous patronage. “It has always been our mission to offer the best entertainment to our esteemed customers, and we are committed to continuing to deliver high-quality content and unparalleled service to our viewers across Nigeria.
“We thank you for your continued partnership and support and reassure you of our unwavering commitment to delivering the best viewing experience in Nigeria.”
