Multichoice explains its packages price adjustment

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Multichoice had given reasons for increasing the prices of its packages.

In a statement explaining the new price, Multichoice blamed the increase on rising business operation costs.

“On Wednesday, 1 May 2024 we will adjust our prices across all our packages on DStv and GOtv. We understand the impact this change may have on you our valued customer, but the rise in the cost of business operations has led us to make this difficult decision...''
