Tunji Bello Advocates for Stronger Consumer Protection Framework

On a recent date, Tunji Bello, the Executive Vice Chairman of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), highlighted the critical role of state institutions in creating a credible and accessible consumer protection framework. During a signing ceremony of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency (LASCOPA) in Abuja, Bello stated that effective consumer protection cannot be achieved without strong partnerships.

He noted that the MOU is not merely a ceremonial document but an operational tool designed to improve outcomes for citizens by facilitating quicker responses to complaints and enhancing awareness of consumer rights. Bello acknowledged that Lagos State, as Nigeria's commercial hub, faces unique challenges that require tailored responses at the state level.

He commended the efforts of both FCCPC and LASCOPA in fostering collaboration, which he believes will significantly enhance consumer confidence in the marketplace.
