Price Inflation: FCCPC intensifies monitoring of formal, informal markets
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has directed its operatives to intensify monitoring of both formal and informal markets, where businesses may be taking advantage of market conditions to unfairly inflate prices, and ramp up enforcement activities.

The commission expressed concern that despite the recent appreciation of the Naira against the dollar, consumers continue to face escalating costs without a corresponding decrease in prices. 

In a Press Statement, the Ag. Executive Vice Chairman/ Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Adamu Abdullahi, in a press release said this situation is unacceptable, and the FCCPC is committed to protecting consumers from exploitation.

According to him, FCCPC understands the significant financial strain these rising prices are placing on Nigerian households. As a result, the Commission is taking proactive steps to address this issue.

He said while the FCCPC cannot directly regulate prices, the Commission will utilise its existing legal framework to enforce fair competition and consumer protection provisions.
