Nigeria's Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal orders Multichoice Nigeria to provide one month free subscription, fines N150m for price increase challenge.

Nigeria's Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal has ordered Multichoice Nigeria, the company behind DStv and GoTV, to provide one month of free subscription for increasing the prices of its products. The court also fined Multichoice Nigeria N150 million ($350,000) for challenging the jurisdiction of a court sitting in Abuja that recently restrained it from increasing the prices of its DStv and GOtv packages. The tribunal dismissed Multichoice's preliminary objection for disobeying its interim orders and imposed an administrative penalty on the company.
