A cross section of Nigerians on social media have lamented over the recent increment in the prices of DSTV and GOTV subscriptions for the second time in less than 4 months.
While some blamed the Federal Government for allowing the South African-owned company manipulate them,others blame the company for being insensitive amidst the economic pangs of the COVID-19 pandemic
TheNewsGuru gathered that DStv Compact subscribers were told to expect a 13.3% price. This implies that subscribers who were paying N6,975 will be paying N7,900 from September 1st.
In the same vein, the subscription fee for DStv Compact Plus has been increased by 9.8% from N10,925 to N12,000.
Part of the notice by the leading pay-tv provider said, “Dear Customer, please be advised of a price adjustment on your DStv Compact package from 1 September. Your new monthly subscription will be N7,900.”
Shock and outrage are the words that capture the reactions of Nigerians over the proposed subscription hike.
