The Senate has instituted a probe into the activities of DSTV owned by the South African based Multichoice Africa, in Nigeria. At the plenary session yesterday February 24th, the Senators expressed dissatisfaction over the services of the company when Senator Isah Hamma Misau (APC, Bauchi Central) sponsored a motion tagged, " Unwholesome practices of Multichoice Nigeria (DSTV).

Misau while moving the motion, accused Multichoice of dominating the Nigerian satellite television market, thereby enabling it to engage in negative and unhealthy practices amongst which are arbitrary increase in subscription charges, refusal to adopt pay 'as-you-use' model applicable in other countries, poor service delivery and absence of toll free lines for customers complaints.

The Senators then mandated the Senate Committees on Information and Trade & Investment to institute a public hearing on the matter and consider summoning the top officials of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) and Consumer Protection Council (CPC) over the issue. Senate President Bukola Saraki said they will continue to safeguard the interest of Nigerian consumers. The two committees were given four weeks to carry out their investigations and report back to the house.

lalasticlala

so na now our senators wake up...ok oooo!!!

Haba!!!
A huge fine will soon be slammed upon DSTv oooo. That committee must find something wrong as usual.
But these South African companies (MTN & DSTv) are not treating Nigerians fairly even though they make billions of dollars from Nigeria alone.
Oya NASS, call them to order sharpenly, we are solidly behind you.

It s long over due. DSTV is ripping Nigerians big time. It's high time we started having pay as you view TV and not the straight pay for 30days.

Have they ever considered people who leave home 7am and return 10pm? Coupled with poor power supply.
