FCCPC Directs MultiChoice To Maintain Current Prices Pending Investigation

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has directed MultiChoice Nigeria to maintain its current subscription prices until the ongoing investigation into its proposed price hike is concluded.

Ondaje Ijagwu, Director, Corporate Affairs, said this in a statement on Thursday.

This directive follows MultiChoice Nigeria’s request for an extension regarding its scheduled appearance before the Commission.

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.

According to the statement, “maintaining the status quo on pricing is essential to prevent any potential consumer harm during this period.”

“Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses,” the statement concluded.
