Many Nigerians are bracing themselves for increased financial strain as Multichoice, the owners of DSTV Nigeria, have once again raised subscription fees, impacting users by at least a 16% increment, contingent on their chosen bouquet.
It has come to our attention that DSTV distributed notifications of this price hike to subscribers last Friday.
DSTV has specified that the new rates will come into effect starting on Monday, the 6th of November 2023.
To provide an example, the subscription fee for DSTV Compact or GOTV Supa+ has now surged from 10,500 to 12,500 Naira.
Also, the DSTV Premium increased to N29,500 from N24,500; Compact+ increased to N19,800 from N16,600; Confam increased to N7,400 from N6,200; while Yanga will henceforth cost N4,200, from N3,500.
For GOTV, Supa bouquet has increased to N7,600 from N6,400; Max subscription to N5,700 from N4,850; Jolli package now goes for N3,950 from N3,300 while Jinja was hiked to N2,700 from to N2,250.
This is the second time the company is announcing an upward price review this year.
In March, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, FCCPC, threatened to take action over the price increment, but nothing came out of the threat.
