Netflix Raises Subscription Fees Again for Nigerian Users
Just three months after a previous price increase, Netflix has raised its subscription fees once again for users in Nigeria. This latest adjustment impacts all subscription tiers, reflecting a notable increase across the board.
Netflix has justified the hike by emphasizing the need to boost revenue and earnings, which will help support the growth and expansion of its content offerings. As a result, Nigerian subscribers will now face higher costs for accessing Netflix’s various plans.
The Premium Plan has seen the most significant rise, with its monthly fee climbing to 7,000 naira marking a 40 percent increase from the earlier rate of 5,000 naira.
The Standard Plan, which is favoured by many Nigerians for its HD quality and multi-screen viewing options, has risen by 37.5 percent, from 4,000 naira to 5,500 naira.
The Basic Plan has also increased, now costing 3,500 naira instead of the previous 2,900 naira, which represents a 21 percent rise. Meanwhile, the Mobile Plan, the least expensive option, has experienced a substantial 83 percent increase, jumping from 1,200 naira to 2,200 nanairas
This new round of price adjustments follows a similar increase in April 2024, highlighting Netflix’s ongoing strategy to enhance its revenue while expanding its content offerings for Nigerian viewers.
According to reports, fuel stations are reducing their prices a bit. This has become a general thing around Nigeria after the spike due to the removal of subsidy.
The prices are dropping to ₦1,275 and ₦1,299, going lower than ₦1,300 compared to what it was before.
MTN has moved closer to acquiring IHS Holding, following shareholder approval of the proposed takeover, marking another major milestone in the transaction.
The approval was secured during the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on 4 August, allowing the deal to progress to the next stage.
If completed, the acquisition is expected to strengthen MTN’s infrastructure capabilities by giving the company greater control over its telecommunications tower assets. Industry analysts believe the move could improve network efficiency, reduce long-term operating costs, and support MTN’s continued expansion across its markets.
The transaction is still subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions before it can be officially completed.
Nigeria’s three biggest cement manufacturers—Dangote Cement, BUA Cement, and HBM Nigeria—generated a combined ₦3.2 trillion in revenue during the first half of 2026.
The strong performance was driven by higher cement prices, increased demand from housing and infrastructure projects, and higher sales volumes across the country.
Compared to the same period in 2025, the companies recorded 26.5% revenue growth, showing that Nigeria’s construction sector continues to expand despite economic challenges. The companies also reported stronger profits and are investing further to increase production capacity to meet future demands.
