The Senate yesterday said it will investigate Multichoice
Nigeria, a subsidiary of South African-based Multichoice Africa, owners of DSTV
over alleged unwholesome practices, unreasonable subscription hikes across
their various bouquets, which have led to growing public complaints and
petitions.
Adopting a two-prayer motion moved by Senator Isah Misau
(APC Bauchi Central) titled “Concern on Unwholesome Practices by Multichoice
Nigeria,” (DSTV), the Senate directed the Committees on Information and Trade and
Investment to investigate and consider summoning the Nigeria Broadcasting
Commission (NBC) and the Consumer Protection Council (CPC).
The Senate also mandated the Committee on Information to
organise a public hearing for all stakeholders including relevant civil
societies to foster a way forward.
