The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has summoned MultiChoice Nigeria to provide explanations regarding its planned subscription price increase, scheduled to take effect on March 1, 2025.
In a statement released on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, the FCCPC directed the Chief Executive Officer of MultiChoice Nigeria to appear before the commission for an investigative hearing at its headquarters on Thursday, February 27, 2025.
According to the FCCPC, the move follows MultiChoice’s formal notification of the price adjustment, raising concerns about recurrent unilateral increases, potential market dominance abuse, and anti-competitive practices within the pay-TV sector.
