In March, MultiChoice Nigeria Limited, owners of
DStv announced a 20% price increase for all its
satellite pay TV bouquets in Nigeria. Multichoice
said the increase, which was supposed to take
effect from April 1st, was necessary for them to
continue offering good quality programming to
its subscribers. But the increase is not going to
happen for now after a Federal High Court sitting
in Lagos restrained the company from increasing
the tariffs.
The restraining order was given at the court
following a class action suit filed by two Lagos-
based lawyers, Osasuyi Adebayo and Oluyinka
Oyeniji, challenging the increase. The judge said
there should be no increase until the court meets
on April 16th to hear the case.
