MultiChoice Nigeria has announced that there will be no price on DStv subscriptions this April.

It’s been a tough year for Multichoice Nigeria as their markets have suffered as a result of commodity and oil price weakness, coupled with the huge devaluations of local currencies.

Most of MultiChoice’s costs are incurred in dollars, and that forced them to go through price increases in 2015. To assist their users, the Pay-TV has decided to not impose a price increase on any of its DStv bouquets in April as they usually do.

In February, the Pay-TV launched two new SuperSport channels aimed at bringing the EPL, La Liga and the EURO 2016 tournament to DStv Compact subscribers.
