In a move that has brewed controversy, Multichoice Nigeria, the parent company of DStv and GOtv, has increased subscription prices for its packages despite the Federal Government’s halt order.

New Prices Take Effect

According to a statement by the company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), John Ugbe, the new prices took effect on March 1, 2025.

Ugbe stated that the decision was made due to the increasing cost of business operations in Nigeria.

He noted, “We understand the impact this change may have on you, our valued customer, but the rise in the cost of business operations has led us to make this difficult decision.”
