FCCPC directs MultiChoice to suspend subscription price hike

By Paul Dada

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has directed MultiChoice Nigeria to suspend the hike of its subscription prices.

The FCCPC gave the directive after MultiChoice  requested  for an extension of time regarding its scheduled appearance before the Commission.

The FCCPC said in a statement: “While the FCCPC has granted the request, the company is now required to attend the rescheduled investigative hearing on March 6, 2025, along with all relevant officers and a comprehensive response.

The FCCPC said it directed  MultiChoice to maintain its existing price structure to prevent potential harm to customers.

“Maintaining the status quo on pricing is essential to prevent any potential consumer harm during this period.”
