Multichoice Reduces Price Of DSTV And GOtv Subscription

MultiChoice, the owner of DStv and GOtv has reverted to its old subscription prices following a court order.

This is coming after the company faced legal challenges.

The Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal in Abuja had ruled against the price hike, prompting MultiChoice to reflect the readjusted rates on its apps as of Sunday, June 16, 2024.

According to reports, the company has lost over a million subscribers in Nigeria due to the price increase.
