FCCPC Urges Reporting of Housing Disputes in Nigeria

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has called on Nigerian consumers to report any housing-related disputes, particularly in real estate transactions. In a statement released on Monday, the FCCPC highlighted that consumer protection extends beyond everyday retail purchases and includes significant financial commitments like housing investments.

The commission is responding to complaints regarding Paradise Estate in Abuja, where buyers claim they have made full payments for properties but have not received them. The FCCPC is initiating regulatory actions in line with its statutory mandate to ensure businesses fulfill their payment agreements within the agreed timelines.

It emphasized the necessity for transparency and honest communication in the housing market, urging affected consumers to submit relevant documents and evidence of payment through its complaint portal at complaint@fccpc.gov.ng.
