The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has become a critical institution for safeguarding Nigeria’s business environment and protecting the integrity of the marketplace, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kekere-Ekun, has stated.
Delivering remarks on Tuesday at the opening ceremony of a three-day Competition and Consumer Protection Law Conference at the National Judicial Institute in Jabi, Abuja, Justice Kekere-Ekun said the commission plays a pivotal role in Nigeria’s regulatory system by ensuring fair competition and protecting consumers across key sectors of the economy.
“As the statutory authority responsible for enforcing competition and consumer protection laws, the Commission plays a vital role in safeguarding the integrity of the marketplace,” the Chief Justice said.
Justice Kekere-Ekun explained that the rapid evolution of modern markets, particularly with the rise of digital commerce and complex corporate structures, had made competition and consumer protection law one of the most dynamic areas of legal practice worldwide.
