The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a lawsuit filed by MultiChoice Nigeria against the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) over a price hike in subscription fees. The court ruled that the FCCPC has the power to regulate and investigate unfair pricing practices by MultiChoice as the company holds a dominant position in the pay-TV market. MultiChoice had argued that the FCCPC lacked the jurisdiction to regulate its prices but the court rejected this argument and stated that the commission has the authority to protect consumers from monopolistic practices. This decision is seen as a victory for consumers and a step towards fairer pricing in the pay-TV industry.
