Multichoice Nigerian DStv and GOtv operators have revealed the second price rise for their packages this year, with increases of at least 19% for every bouquet.
November 6, 2023 is when the new pricing will go into effect; this is only five months after the previous price increase review.
The most recent hike was attributed by Multichoice to “rising costs in all aspects of our business, including content acquisition, infrastructure maintenance, and operating expenses” in a statement sent to its subscribers.
Furthermore, it cited “the current economic challenges in Nigeria,” which include high inflation and a depreciating naira, as the cause of the rise.
