In a move to protect consumers, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has directed MultiChoice Nigeria to maintain its current subscription prices until the conclusion of an ongoing investigation into its proposed price increase.
The directive comes after MultiChoice Nigeria requested an extension for its scheduled appearance before the Commission. While the FCCPC granted the extension, the company must now attend a rescheduled investigative hearing on March 6, 2025, with all relevant officers and a comprehensive response.
