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.
