Barely three months after increasing its subscription rate for Nigerian customers, MultiChoice has announced that it will carry out upward adjustments of the costs of some DStv and GOtv packages from September 1, 2020.<\/p>\n

According to a statement from the company, this decision was made after careful consideration of the market and a review of its business operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have made efforts to contain any price adjustments on subscription prices. However, in order to ensure the sustainability of the business we have to consider financial impacts, including inflation as well increased content and operational costs. As such we have reviewed the prices of some of our bouquets so that we can continue to survive as a business and bring quality entertainment to our customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo arrive at the decision to adjust prices, we took into account many factors, including the impact on the customer, current inflation, which stands at 12.82%, the highest in 27 months; content costs and efficiencies within the company. Please, be assured that we have worked hard to keep this year\u2019s tariffs manageable,\u201d said John Ugbe, Chief Executive Officer of the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur packages will continue to be available at varying pricing points to allow subscribers flexibility in price and choice without compromising quality or variety.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo this end only the prices of some of the bouquets have been reviewed upwards while the lower bouquets have been left untouched.<\/p>

\u201cWe will continue to give our customers the best experience. The price adjustments will allow us to keep delivering top-quality entertainment experience by telling the best local stories through our series and movies, give you access to nail-biting sporting action and up-to-the-minute news as well as the best international series, movies and documentaries, while ensuring that we offer your children movies and series that will keep them educated and entertained,\u201d it explained.<\/p>\n

It would be recalled that the company on June 1, 2020 increased its subscription rate as a result of the 7.5% VAT (Value Added Tax) by the Nigerian Government. The price hike will affect Nigerians alone, for now.<\/p>\n
