MultiChoice raises DStv, GOtv subscription packages by 17%

MultiChoice Nigeria has increased the prices on its DStv and GOtv packages by 17 per cent.

MultiChoice Nigeria made this known via a message to customers on Tuesday, April 25.

It noted that the new rates will take effect on May 1, 2023, adding that the price increment was due to the rising costs of business operations.

“Please note that from May 1, your monthly subscription (premium) will be N24,500. To retain your old price of N21,000 for up to 12 months ensure you are active by April 30,” the firm stated.

The price on the Compact+ bouquet was increased to N16,600 from N14,250 monthly, while subscribers on the Compact bouquet will now pay N10,500 as against N9,000.

Subscribers on Confam package will pay N6,200 compared to the previous N5,300, while those on DStv Yanga and Padi bouquets will pay N3,500 and N2,500 respectively, as against N2,950 and N2,150.

Meanwhile, subscribers on the GOtv Supa package will now pay N6,400 as against N5,500; while those on GOtv Max will pay N4,850 as against N4,150.

MultiChoice Nigeria raised the GOtv Jolli package price from N2,800 to N3,300; GOtv Jinja increased from N1,900 to N2,250; while GOtv Lite was raised from N900 to N1,100.

MultiChoice Nigeria, however, made a price lock offer to subscribers who may renew their subscriptions before their due dates.

The offer, which is meant to cushion the effect of the price review, allows customers to pay the old rates for 12 months, if they pay monthly before the expiration of their subscriptions.
