- *John Ugbe*: Managing Director/CEO of MultiChoice Nigeria Limited

The charges stem from alleged breaches of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act, 2018. Specifically, the FCCPC alleges that MultiChoice impeded its investigation by refusing to produce documents. This development follows a recent price hike by MultiChoice on its DStv and Gotv packages, despite an invitation by the FCCPC to explain the reason behind the increase .
