Senate Holds Public Hearing On Dstv’s Activities by aproko247: 6:07pm On Feb 24, 2016
The Nigerian Senate has directed its Committee on Information to organise a public hearing to work out ways to ensure Nigerians can be protected from alleged exploitations by leading pay-TV platform in Nigeria, Multichoice Nigeria, the parent company of DSTV.

Senate President, Bukola Saraki, said on Wednesday that this move came following complaints received from consumers concerning the allegations.

He said the Senate discussed a “motion on the Unwholesome Practices by Multichoice Nigeria (DSTV), a subsidiary of South African-based Multichoice Africa.”

According to him, “distinguished Senators noted that Multichoice's arbitrary subscription charges, price hikes and refusals to adopt a pay-as-you-use model, affect Nigerian subscribers negatively.”

The public forum will be with stakeholders in the industry like the Nigerian Broadcast Commission, NBC; and the Consumer Protection Council, CPC, who will also map out ways to guarantee that regulatory agencies in Nigeria begin to take their responsibilities as 'Watchdogs' more seriously.

Good thinking, can it also be applied to other areas like electricity distribution companies, because they are the most defaulters in this regard.
