DStv, GOtv Bouquet Prices Remain Unchanged- Multichoice Nigeria

Multichoice Nigeria, owners of DStv and GOtv has refuted reports circulating online that the company has reduced the subscription prices for users in Nigeria.

The paytv provider however said that only decoder prices were reduced but subscription prices remained unchanged.

“We only reduced our decoder prices and not subscription prices,” the source said.

Some online media and some users on X formerly Twitter, had yesterday shared unconfirmed announcements of reduction in prices.

A source close to Multichoice however said that “The DStv Zapper was slashed from N65,000 to N22,900 while the Zapper and the dishkit were slashed from N100,000 to N57,900. For GOtv, the Pizza Box was slashed from N56,000 to N19,900 and all of these took effect from the 1st of June 2024.”

MultiChoice Nigeria is in the midst of a legal battle following a ruling by the Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal (CCPT) that fined the paytv operator the total sum of N150 million for challenging the court’s jurisdiction and ordered the company to provide a one-month free DStv and GOtv subscription to users in the country.

The judgement was delivered two weeks ago by a bench of three judges, led by Justice Thomas Okosu.

Multichoice Nigeria has however reportedly filed an appeal against the ruling.
