MultiChoice Nigeria has slashed the prices of its DStv and GOtv decoders and the price slash begins from today, Monday, February 1, 2021.
The Chief Customer Officer of MultiChoice, Martin Mabutho, who disclosed this in a virtual media briefing on Friday, said the price DStv HD decoder, dish kit with Compact package subscription, will drop from N18,600 to N9,900 on Confam package, while GOtv decoder, GOtennae with GOtv Jolli package subscription will drop from N8,400 to N6,900.
He explained that the price slash is part of MultiChoice’s efforts to lessen the economic impact of COVID-19 on customers and a reflection of its commitment to making quality entertainment more accessible to Nigerians.
“With this discount, we are lowering the entry barrier for new customers to get a DStv or GOtv decoder as staying connected to credible information and other quality programming can be comforting for many families during these trying times,” said Mabutho.
He also listed some of the company’s relief strategies deployed during the first wave of the pandemic, including cash donations of N200 million and N50 million to the federal government and Lagos state government, respectively.
According to him, N400 million was also donated to the creative industry, whose professionals experienced disruptions in productions; donated 30,000 Personal Protective Equipment, PPEs and 30,000 face masks to hospitals and non-governmental organisations as well as an approved inventory worth over N550m highlighting National Centre for Desease Control, NCDC’s, COVID-19 helplines and PSA materials on over 10 channels on DStv and GOtv.
“In addition to the discount we are currently running our DStv Step Up offer which gives our customers on lower packages an opportunity to experience programming on higher packages, and a GOtv Max offer which sees customers on Jolli and Jinja enjoy a special discount of N2,999 instead of N3,600 per month,” Mabutho added.
The discounted DStv and GOtv bundle offer will be available from Monday, February 1, 2021 for a limited time only.
