Multichoice Nigeria Limited, the company in charge of DStv and GOtv, has declared that subscribers will charge more for their services starting May 1, 2024.
This means subscribers will have to pay extra to watch their favourite shows.
The company says they are raising prices because it is costing them more to run their business in Nigeria.
John Ugbe, the big boss at Multichoice, wrote in an email sent to subscribers that the cost of the best DStv package, called Premium, will jump from N29,500 to N37,000 each month. That is a big increase!
If you are on the Compact+ plan, get ready to pay N25,000 instead of N19,800 every month.
The Compact plan will now cost N15,700, up from N12,500. Confam subscribers will need to pay N9,300, which is N1,900 more than what they currently pay.
Padi users will see an increase to N3,600, while HDPVR Access subscribers will have to fork out N5,000.
GOtv users, brace yourselves too! Supa Plus subscribers will see their bills go up to N15,700, while Supa bouquet users will pay N9,600. GOtv Max subscribers will pay N7,200, an increase of N1,500.
Jolli package subscribers will need to pay N4,850, and Jinja users will pay N3,300. Smallie subscribers will also see a bump up to N1,575.
Beyond Boders notes that this is not the first time Multichoice has raised prices. This was done twice last year, and is being done again.
