MultiChoice Nigeria has increased the prices of its DStv and GOtv packages, saying from April 1, subscribers will pay more for all its bouquets.

The company in a statement on Tuesday said, “In light of the rising costs of inflation and business operations, we have had to review the price of our packages to keep delighting our customers with great entertainment, anytime and anywhere.

“Therefore, from April 1, 2022, a new pricing regime for both our DStv and GOtv packages will be in effect.”

MultiChoice Nigeria is the Nigerian subsidiary of MultiChoice Africa, owner of DStv and GOtv.

Multichoice said its DStv package would now cost: Premium (N21,000); Compact + (N14,250); Compact (N9,000); Confam (N5,300); Yanga (N2,950); Padi (N2,150); Business (N2,669) and Xtraview + PVR access fee (N2,900).

It said that the new prices for GOtv package were: Gotv Max for N4,150; GOtv Jolli for N2,800; GOtv Jinja for N1,900 and GOtv Lite for N900.

To cushion the price adjustments, Multichoice said customers who pay on or before their due date (before April 1), would be eligible to pay the old price.

Also, customers who pay consistently on time (before their due dates) for a period of 12 months, would also be eligible to pay the old price.

“Customers who pay for 10 months upfront on the new price will get the 11th and 12th month free,” the company said.

The company said the price adjustments would enable it to serve customers better.
