Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission to Shutdown Non-complying Facilities in Nigeria

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has vowed to shut down any facility that violates consumers’ rights in accordance with the law. The Director General (DG) of FCCPC, Mr. Babatunde Irukera, said this when he appeared on a News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) forum in Abuja. Mr. Irukera said the commission recently shut down a Chinese restaurant in Lagos known for exclusive and discriminatory services. The DG explained that any facility shut down in that manner would undergo due processes to certify its capacity to uphold consumers’ rights before approval to re-open for business was issued.
