MultiChoice Nigeria has once again announced an increase in the cost of subscriptions for its DStv and GOtv packages.
The hike comes nearly a year after the company last raised its subscription rates.
In an email to customers on Monday, the pay-TV provider stated that the new prices would take effect from 1st March.
MultiChoice attributed the price increase to rising operational costs.
“Due to prevailing economic conditions leading to increased business expenses, we have unavoidably had to adjust the prices of our DStv and GOtv subscription packages,” the company said.
“We understand the impact this change may have on our valued customers, and this decision was made only after careful consideration and thorough analysis.
“Our mission remains to provide the best entertainment to our esteemed viewers, and we remain committed to delivering high-quality content and exceptional service across Nigeria.”
From March 1, DStv Premium subscribers will see their monthly fee rise from ₦37,000 to ₦44,500, while those on Compact+ will pay ₦30,000 instead of ₦25,000.
