HURIWA Slams MultiChoice Over Hike In Prices Of DSTV And GOTV Packages

HURIWA has slammed MultiChoice over the hike in prices of DSTV And GOTV Packages in Nigeria.

Newsonline reports that the civil rights advocacy group, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria has asked the National Assembly to clamp down on the “monopoly” of South African digital satellite television, MultiChoice.

HURIWA, in a statement on Monday, 28th March 2022, by its National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, condemned the recent increase in the prices of the cable company’s DStv and GOtv packages in Nigeria.

The group urged the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, and concerned government agencies including the National Broadcasting Commission to compel MultiChoice to charge Nigerians per view or wield its big stick on the company for compliance failure.

HURIWA’s Onwubiko said, “The recent hike in prices of Multichoice’s DStv and GOtv packages in Nigeria is outrageous and should be reversed with immediate alacrity before the April 1, 2022 commencement date for the new price regime.

“It is no longer news that Multichoice has consistently exploited billions of dollars from Nigerians in the last three decades since its operations in Nigeria in 1993.
