The Tribunal has intervened to prevent MultiChoice from raising subscription fees for DStv and Gotv services.

The Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal (CT) in Abuja issued a ruling on Monday preventing Multi-Choice Nigeria Limited from implementing its planned price hikes and increases for products and services set to take effect on May 1st.

The interim order was granted by a tribunal consisting of three , with Saratu Shafii as the presiding officer. This decision came after an ex-parte motion was presented by Ejiro Awaritoma, who is the legal representative of Festus Onifade, the applicant.

Is this not interference in their freedom of legitimate business operations ? Do they want the business to wind up?

Country of court order

They allowed DISCOs to increase prices but they don't want DSTV to increase their prices.
Epitome of nonsense!

It's high time they break their monopoly

awon ole alagbado. They will take bribe soon..

😁

I can bet with you that multi choice will not obey the order.

A greasing of the palm will make the enforcers look away.

God punish them

Hmmm

Multi choice should be made to use pay as you use system, under regulated metrics...

Hmmmm. It is well

CT wasn't there whe NERC increased electricity tariff

As if they care

Their new prices have already been confirmed. Gotv Supa+ is now N15,700 against it's former price of N12,500.

The problem with Nigerians is that we don't speak with one voice. Tribalism really divided us. If not tell me how these criminals would constantly keep exploiting us year in year out and all we can do is to grumble on social media without any action?

it's better they wind up. I don't mind switching back to watching free to air TV

This is simply ridiculous. There are a dozen and one items that have been on the increase and that includes fuel,but by all means, let's ignore all that and focus on multichoice.

Where una dey when fuel don dey hit 1500 for some states idiot

Initial
When brown envelope now,
Everywhere go quiet.

That won't stop DSTV even the last increment they were told to step down on the price they didn't. You can't tell a landlord how to build his house,those that will pay will pay those who will not won't.No be by force.

This is why foreign companies are leaving Nigeria. How can they be intervening in a legitimate business like this? How is that their business?

And it’s always Aboki people chairing this kind of things because they don’t know much about businesses or even logical thinking. Na just to dey accuse other of cheating and pretending they are more moral

ok

They should pls leave them and allow them hike their subscription fee.

Body go tell them, they are going to experience Exodus bycot with this their nonsense and incessant price hike.

How about NEPA own. That one is more important

They can't stop things that the poor masses enjoy from increasing prices.

I don't get this. Ask them not to increase price? Why? Are we in a socialist state? Put the necessary things like electricity, reduced price of fuel and enabling environment in place, and watch the price coming down itself.

And also, ensure stiff competition by allowing and promoting local against any foreign monopolistic companies.

Government knows what to do, they just love using us catch cruise because they know we are blinded by religion and ethnicity.

Multichoice should shut them up with bribe.
