MultiChoice Nigeria has explained the reason it is increasing the prices of subscriptions for ITS various packages on DSTV.
The company had announced that it would be increasing subscription rate for various packages on DSTV from 1 May, 2023.
MultiChoice, in a memo said it decided to review its subscriptions rate upward due to the various economic challenges impacting its business operations.
The company stated that it had to review the price of its packages to continue delighting its customers with great entertainment, anytime and anywhere.
