FCCPC DIRECTS MULTICHOICE TO SUSPEND FEE HIKE

February 28, 2025

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has directed MultiChoice Nigeria, the operator of DStv and GOtv, to maintain its current subscription prices pending the conclusion of an ongoing investigation into the company’s proposed tariff adjustment.

FCCPC in a statement by its Director of Corporate Affairs, ONDAJE IJAGWU, said it gave the directive following MultiChoice’s request for an extension regarding its scheduled appearance before the commission over concerns surrounding its recurring price increases.

Although FCCPC granted the company’s request to postpone the session, it has now rescheduled the hearing for March 6, 2025, mandating a comprehensive response to the inquiry.

The agency also emphasised that the decision to freeze prices is aimed at preventing potential consumer exploitation during the investigation period.
