Multichoice, one of the biggest satellite TV providers in Sub-Saharan Africa, is planning to increase DStv and GOtv subscription costs in Nigeria once more.
Its most recent pricing review was about a year ago.
In its most recent price review, according to Cable the company will increase the DStv Compact bouquet from N15,700 to N19,000.

Family and Access bouquets may have their tariffs reviewed from N9,300 to N11,000 and N5,100 to N6,000 respectively.
GOtv Value customers, who currently pay N3,600, will start paying N3,900, while the tariff on GOtv Plus will rise from N4,850 to N5,800, sources further told the media.

The fall in the value of the naira along with increased energy costs have been blamed for upward price reviews across across telecommunications, transportation and consumer goods in general.
“Since 2023, when the federal government began its economic reforms of fuel subsidy removal, naira floatation and electricity tariff increase among others, prices of goods and services have almost quadrupled, with the inflation rate at 34.80 per cent as at December, 2024,” an industry source said, adding that businesses have been forced to increase prices, with some doing so as many as three times last year.

Following the recent approval by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), which permitted telecommunications operators to raise their tariffs by up to 50 percent, MTN Nigeria and Airtel Nigeria increased calls, data and other prices.
The NCC defended the approval saying it will boost revenue of the telecos in order to cover rising.
Also, on January 23, Wale Edun, minister of finance, said the tariff in the telecommunications sector would undergo periodic reviews.
