MultiChoice Nigeria has announced yet another price increase for its DStv and GOtv packages, with the new rates set to take effect from 1 March 2025.
The company, in a statement to customers on Monday, February 24, attributed the hike to rising operational costs, including the depreciation of the naira and inflation.
“Dear Customer, please note that effective 1 March 2025, there will be a price adjustment on all DStv packages,” the company said, adding that the move was necessary to “continue to offer world-class homegrown and international content, delivered through the best technology.”
This latest price review comes nearly a year after MultiChoice last adjusted its subscription rates, and the increase affects all bouquets.
For DStv subscribers, the Compact package will now cost ₦19,000, up from ₦15,700, while Compact Plus jumps to ₦30,000.
The Premium plan will rise to ₦44,500. GOtv users are not left out, as the GOtv Smallie plan will now go for ₦3,900, up from ₦3,600, while GOtv Plus increases to ₦5,800 from ₦4,850.
The GOtv Max package will cost ₦8,500, Supa will go for ₦11,400, and Supa Plus will be ₦16,800.
MultiChoice insists that the hike is unavoidable, citing economic challenges affecting its business in Nigeria.
However, subscribers are expected to react strongly, as past price increases have sparked widespread backlash.
