Price Hike: FCCPC Summons MultiChoice, Warns Against Exploitation

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has summoned MultiChoice Nigeria to explain its proposed subscription price increase, set to take effect on March 1, 2025.

Exercising its mandate under Sections 32 and 33 of the FCCPA, the FCCPC directed the Chief Executive Officer of MultiChoice Nigeria to attend an investigative hearing at the Commission’s headquarters on Thursday, February 27, 2025. 

According to a statement signed by FCCPC Director, Corporate Affairs, Onadje Ijagwu this action follows MultiChoice’s formal notification of the price adjustment, which raises concerns about recurrent unilateral price hikes, potential market dominance abuse, and perceived anti-competitive practices in the pay-TV industry.

The FCCPC says its deeply concerned that Nigerian consumers continue to face frequent price increases, amid accusations that MultiChoice applies different strategies in other markets, heightening questions about fairness and market abuse.

The statement further states that Should MultiChoice fail to provide satisfactory explanations or be found in violation of fair market principles, the FCCPC will be left left with no other option than to impose regulatory penalties, sanctions, or other corrective measures to protect Nigerian consumers.
