MultiChoice Announces Price Increase for DStv and GOtv Packages
MultiChoice has revealed that subscribers of its DStv and GOtv services will face higher costs for their packages starting March 1, 2025.
In a statement released on Monday, the PayTV company explained that the price hike is essential to maintaining the quality of its services.
The statement, titled “Price Adjustments for DStv and GOtv Packages,” stated, “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 offering world-class homegrown and international content through the best technology.”
The price increase follows nearly a year after the company’s previous price review and is a response to rising operational costs.
MultiChoice attributed the increase to economic factors, including the depreciation of the naira and high inflation, both of which have significantly impacted its operations in Nigeria.
Under the new pricing, 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, the GOtv Jinja package will increase from N3,600 to N3,900. The GOtv Plus package will go up 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 hikes, citing economic pressures that have made running its services in Nigeria more costly. The company emphasized that these price adjustments are necessary to maintain its offerings and ensure continued access to quality content.
