The national association of Nigerian Students (nans) Zone D (southwest) has given a 7-day ultimatum to Multichoice Nigeria Limited to reverse the prices of its DSTV and GOTV package, implement pay-as you-view or risk having all its offices in the region sealed.
The students’ body said the ultimatum became imperative to put an end to the alleged hardship and extortionist policy of DSTV in Nigeria.
In the statement signed by the coordinator, Adejuwon Emmanuel Olatunji, deputy coordinator, Alao John and public relations officer, Opeoluwa Awoyinfa, NANS said, “Today we are aware that multi-choice digital satellite television has increased their tariffs without considering the standard of living of Nigerians. We have also waited for long to see if this same company will dance to the music of Nigerians who has been clamouring for “pay as you view tariff” but the reverse is the case.
The group said it was time to call on the national broadcasting commission to go back to the commission act to regulate the ownership, activities and operations of direct broadcast satellite service providers.
They accused, DSTV of being one of the leading direct-to-home service providers in Nigeria since its inception of operation far back in 1995 and has also made a lot of profit with over 25 million subscribers which is the largest market for its operations.
