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.

This directive follows MultiChoice Nigeria’s request for an extension regarding its scheduled appearance before the Commission, the Director of Corporate Affairs confirmed in a statement in Abuja yesterday.
The company, which was expected to appear before the consumer protection agency, failed to do so and instead requested an extension of the investigative hearing date.
The FCCPC, in its statement, said: “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.”
Additionally, the FCCPC has expressly instructed MultiChoice to maintain its existing price structure as of February 27, 2025, pending the Commission’s review and final determination on the matter.
“Maintaining the status quo on pricing is essential to prevent any potential consumer harm during this period.”
The Commission assured that further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
