The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has assured Nigerians, especially consumers, of its resolve to protect their rights from business exploiters.
FCCPC Executive Vice Chairman/CEO Tunji Bello gave the assurance yesterday in Abuja when he received award nominations from Daily Independent Newspaper, NaijaTimes, Aisha Ibrahim Babangida Foundation and BrandXchange.
Bello said: “We are encouraged that our work is attracting attention and recognition from different quarters. For us, what counts more is the difference we make in the lives of consumers and in the integrity of the marketplace.
“These recognitions challenge us to do more, strengthen our resolve and remain focused on building markets where businesses can compete fairly and consumers are treated justly,” Bello said.
In a statement by the Director, Corporate Affairs, Ondaje Ijagwu, with CEO Bello were Louis Odion (FCCPC Executive Commissioner of Operations), Ummusalma Isiaku Rabiu (FCCPC Executive Commissioner of Corporate Services), as well as all the directors of the Commission.
Also announced today is the nomination of FCCPC for the “Regulator of the Year 2026” by Daily Independent newspapers.
The newspaper saluted the Commission for its “doggedness” in pursuing its mandate.
Recall that the Women Enterprise Alliance under the auspices of the Aisha Babangida Foundation shortlisted FCCPC for the award of the “Regulatory Body of the Year Award”.
In the citation, the body stated that the honour is to celebrate “not only the Commission’s regulatory mandate, but also the broader impact of effective regulation in strengthening enterprise confidence, market participation and sustainable economic development.”
In its own press release, BrandXchange said the award of “Citizen-centric MDA of the Year (Federal)” in 2026 to FCCPC was in “recognition of your exemplary service, outstanding achievements, and unwavering commitment to excellence.”
