-

The World Bank has issued a compelling call to action for Nigeria and other Sub-Saharan African nations, urging governments to focus on rebuilding public trust by improving essential service delivery. This was highlighted in its 2025 Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA) report released earlier this month. According to the report, many African citizens have grown increasingly disillusioned with their governments due to poor access to vital services such as education, healthcare, electricity, water supply, and public administration. In Nigeria, these failures are especially visible in underfunded schools, overcrowded hospitals, and unreliable infrastructure. The World Bank noted that while some African countries are making progress in macroeconomic management and social inclusion, the biggest setback remains weak governance. The lack of transparency, inefficiency in public institutions, and a slow response to citizens’ needs have worsened the trust gap between government...

DStv Decoder Now ₦10,000: MultiChoice Slashes Prices to Win Over More Nigerians

-

In a major move aimed at increasing access to quality digital entertainment, MultiChoice Nigeria has slashed the price of its DStv decoder by 50%. The decoder, which previously sold for ₦20,000, will now cost just ₦10,000. This new offer includes a DStv HD decoder, a satellite dish, and one month of free viewing on the Compact package.

The company also announced a “free upgrade” promotion running until July 31, 2025. With this promo, new and existing subscribers who pay for a lower package will be automatically upgraded to a higher one for a month at no extra cost. For example, if a customer subscribes to the Confam bouquet, they will be upgraded to the Compact package free for that month.

This new pricing strategy comes at a time when many Nigerians are battling economic hardship, with inflation driving up the cost of living. By reducing the decoder price, MultiChoice aims to ease the burden on consumers and attract a wider audience to its platform. The promotion is also expected to help the company compete more effectively in Nigeria’s increasingly crowded pay-TV market.

Subscribers can enjoy a wide range of content, including live sports, blockbuster movies, news, documentaries, and popular local shows. For sports lovers, this is especially good news, as it means they can watch live football matches and other events on premium channels at a more affordable rate.

The response from the public has been largely positive, with many praising MultiChoice for considering the financial realities faced by average Nigerians.

As competition grows and digital TV becomes more essential in homes across the country, this initiative may help DStv strengthen its position as a leading provider of entertainment in Nigeria.
