Multichoice Nigeria Limited, the leading pay-TV operator, has disclosed another price adjustment across its DStv and GOtv packages, set to take effect from May 1, 2024.
The company cited Nigeria’s “rise in the cost of business operations” as the reason behind the price increments.
According to a notice signed by Multichoice CEO John Ugbe and distributed to subscribers via email, the new prices for DStv packages reflect significant changes.
