WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Pay-TV operator MultiChoice Nigeria has announced a 21 per cent increase in the subscription fee for its DStv Compact package, raising the price from N15,700 to N19,000, effective March 1, 2025. This latest adjustment follows a similar price hike in May 2024, which the company attributed to inflation and rising operational costs in Nigeria. The announcement has triggered widespread criticism from subscribers, many of whom took to social media to express frustration over frequent price hikes without a corresponding improvement in service quality. In a notice sent to customers on Monday, the company said the price adjustment was part of a review of its pricing structure. While the DStv Compact package will see an increase, MultiChoice confirmed that the Compact Plus and Premium bouquets will remain at N30,000 and N44,500, respectively. The notice, titled “Price Adjustments for DStv and GOtv Packages,” read in part, “Dear Customer, please note that effective March 1, 2025, there will be a price adjustment on all DStv packages. “This is to enable us to continue offering our customers world-class homegrown and international content, delivered through the best technology.”
