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. So many Nigerians will be happy about this, Lol...
