AS Nigeria’s golden jubilee anniversary celebrations draw nearer, Pay TV Company, HiTV, has announced a slash in the prices of acquiring its decoder systems.

This was just at the heels of also slashing its subsciption rates a forthnight ago.
HiTV says these price reductions were in the spirit of Independence , adding that it was a fresh reason for both its existing subscribers and other proudly Nigerians to migrate to the platform .

The offer tagged Golden Offer, reduces a complete system of HiTV plus two months subscription with free installation to just about N15, 000.

It began on September 1 and is expected to run through Nigeria’s Independence Day on October 1.

The statement signed by the company’s Public Relations Manager, Mr Justin Akpovi-Esade quoted Fashina as saying that ““we always ensure we give back to Nigerians at Independence.

Last year, we did the Freedom Promo at Independence which was a huge success, so our offering this time around is Golden Offer which is apt because Nigeria turns 50 in a couple of weeks from now. We do all these because we are a Nigerian company that has the interest of Nigerians at heart in all our dealings.”
She believes that with these price slashes, “Pay TV has just become more affordable”.

What this means is that with just N15, 000, viewers will have the opportunity of viewing sports content such as the UEFA Champions League, Carling Cup, Europa Cup and of course Italian Serie A, which are on the HiTV platform.

Besides, Fashina said that “ HiTV has an array of channels that it continues to acquire (31 channels now and still counting) that cater for all categories of viewers.

We are bringing in 10 more new channels in a couple of weeks.

For Fashina “Golden Offer promotion is to complement our recent reduction in our monthly subscription.
