Below are the current GOtv office locations across Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, along with the phone, WhatsApp, and self-service options that often solve the problem without leaving home.

What to Bring to a GOtv Office
A visit goes faster when you arrive prepared. Bring your IUC number, which is the ten-digit code on the sticker underneath or behind your decoder, since staff need it to pull up your account. If your issue involves a payment, bring proof of the transaction, such as a bank alert or receipt showing the amount, date, and reference.
For a hardware fault, bring the decoder itself along with its power supply and remote, as staff may need to test the unit on the spot rather than diagnose it from your description alone.
Try Self-Service Before You Travel
Many issues that send people to an office can be fixed from home in a few minutes, saving you the trip entirely. It is worth trying these first.
USSD self-service
Dial *288# on the phone number linked to your account and follow the on-screen menu. You can check what you owe, clear common error codes, and reconnect after a payment, all without an internet connection. This is the fastest route for most account and reactivation problems.
WhatsApp and phone support
For questions that need a person, message the WhatsApp line on +234 908 238 4688 or call +234 803 900 3788. Have your IUC number ready before you start, since it is the first thing an agent will ask for, and it speeds the whole conversation up.
The MyGOtv app
The MyGOtv app, available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, lets you pay, check your balance, clear errors, and confirm which channels your package includes. For anyone with a smartphone, it handles nearly everything a branch visit would, from wherever you are.
When a Physical Visit Is Actually Needed
Some problems genuinely require an office. Smartcard pairing conflicts, hardware faults that self-service cannot resolve, and account disputes where a payment failed to register on GOtv’s end are the main ones. If you have already tried the app, USSD, and phone support without success, that is the point where visiting one of the branches above makes sense.
If your problem is missing channels rather than an account matter, you may not need any office at all. Our guide on how to recover lost GOtv channels covers the rescan and reset steps that fix most channel issues, and for on-screen light or error problems, our guide on fixing common GOtv decoder problems explains what each warning means.
Whichever branch is nearest, a quick call ahead on +234 803 900 3788 to confirm the office is open and can handle your specific issue will save you the most time. For the official, always-current list of MultiChoice and GOtv service points nationwide, the official GOtv Africa website is the most reliable place to confirm any location before you set out.
