The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has directed MultiChoice, the DSTV and GOTV operators, to halt their planned hike in the price of their pay TV subscriptions.
The FCCPC specifically asked that the old subscription prices be maintained until the ongoing investigation into the proposed price hike is concluded.
Ondaje Ijagwu, Director of Corporate Affairs at the FCCPC, in a statement on Thursday, said that this directive was in response to MultiChoice’s request for an extension regarding its scheduled appearance before the Commission.

“While the FCCPC has granted the request, the company is now required to attend the rescheduled investigative hearing on 6th March 2025, along with all relevant officers and a comprehensive response.
“Pursuant to this, MultiChoice is expressly instructed to maintain the existing price structure as of 27th February 2025, pending the Commission’s review and final determination on the matter.
“Maintaining the status quo on pricing is essential to prevent any potential consumer harm during this period,” he said.
