MultiChoice has announced a new price hike for DStv and GOtv packages.
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the subscribers of MultiChoice’s DStv and GOtv services will have to pay more for their packages as the PayTV company has announced a price increase set to take effect from March 1, 2025.
The statement, titled “Price Adjustments for DStv and GOtv Packages,” read, “Dear Customer, please note that effective 1 March 2025, there will be a price adjustment on all DStv packages. This is to enable us to continue to offer our customers world-class homegrown and international content, delivered through the best technology.”
This increase came nearly a year after the company’s last price review, reflecting rising operational costs.
MultiChoice attributed the hike to economic pressures, including the depreciation of the naira and high inflation, which have significantly impacted its business operations in Nigeria.
According to the new pricing structure, the DStv Compact bouquet will rise from N15,700 to N19,000, while the Compact Plus package will now cost N30,000. The Premium subscription will increase to N44,500.
For GOtv subscribers, those on the GOtv Jinja package will now pay N3,900, up from N3,600. The GOtv Plus package will increase from N4,850 to N5,800, while GOtv Max will now cost N8,500. The GOtv Supa and Supa Plus packages will be priced at N11,400 and N16,800, respectively.
MultiChoice has consistently defended its price adjustments, pointing to economic realities that have made running its services in Nigeria more expensive. The company maintained that the price review is necessary to sustain its offerings and ensure continued access to quality content.
