MultiChoice Nigeria has announced an upward review of prices on its DStv and GOtv packages.
The new rate which will begin from May 1, 2023, was announced in a memo issued by the company on Tuesday.
The company said the upward review of DStv and GOtv packages was due to the rising costs of business operations in the country.
The memo read, ”At MultiChoice Nigeria, our mission is to deliver value to our customers by making great entertainment accessible. Our key priority is to put our customers’ needs at the heart of everything we do.
“Due to the various economic challenges impacting our business operations, we have had to review the price of our packages to continue delighting our customers with great entertainment, anytime and anywhere.
“MultiChoice acknowledges the difficult economic climate thus kept the increase at the lowest possible point whilst ensuring sustainability and provision of quality services.”
Also, a message sent across to all its customers read, “Please note that from May 1, your monthly subscription (premium) will be N24,500. To retain your old price of N21,000 for up to 12 months ensure you are active by April 30.”
With the new rates hike, the price on the Compact+ bouquet would move to N16,600 from N14,250 per month.
Subscribers on the Compact bouquet will now pay N10,500 as against N9,000; while those on Confam package are set to pay N6,200 compared to the previous N5,300.
