The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has declared that the latest price increases in MultiChoice cable subscriptions will be reviewed by relevant stakeholders to ensure that subscribers in Nigeria get value for their money.
The Acting CEO of FCCPC, Adamu Abdullahi, said this while featuring on Channels Television’s Dateline Abuja programme on Thursday.
He also provided an update on the summons issued to the owner of a Chinese store in Abuja accused of discriminatory and sharp practices.
He also commented on the adherence to the order given to the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), stating that sanctions are imminent for all verified infractions identified by the agency.
MultiChoic Nigeria recently increased the tariff on its DStv and GOtv packages, saying the increase is necessitated by the rise in the cost of business operations.
According to the company, the new tariff regime takes effect on May 1, 2024.
The Premium package on DStv, which was N29,500, would now go for N37,000, while the Compact Plus, which currently goes for N19,800, has been increased to N25,000.
