In a recent online poll conducted across various platforms including LinkedIn, The Bureau Newspaper website, and Nairaland, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has been overwhelmingly recognized as Nigeria’s most efficient and transparent government agency.
The survey aimed to gauge public sentiment regarding the efficiency and performance of select Nigerian government agencies. The agencies under evaluation included FCCPC, National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA), and Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON).
The results of the poll revealed that the FCCPC secured the highest approval rating, with an impressive 1,912 votes, accounting for 52.48% of the total. It was followed by NITDA with 866 votes, NCC with 180 votes, SON with 144 votes, NAFDAC with 397 votes, NCAA with 36 votes, and NOSDRA with 37 votes.
In acknowledging the FCCPC’s remarkable achievement, Arise News stated, “The FCCPC emerged as the clear leader in the poll, achieving the highest approval rate. The strong support it received reflects the agency’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding consumer rights and promoting fair competition within Nigeria’s evolving marketplace. The FCCPC’s focus on addressing anticompetitive practices and protecting consumers has clearly resonated with the majority of respondents.”
Assuming the role of Director General, Babatunde Irukera, the FCCPC has made substantial progress and achieved significant milestones across various sectors. The commission has been dedicated to reforming the landscape of consumer protection through extensive consumer education initiatives.
Notably, Irukera proudly mentioned that the commission has had a flawless track record in court since its establishment in 2018 during an interview with ARISE NEWS in July. His leadership was instrumental in the transition from the Consumer Protection Council to the FCCPC, shaping its operational policies and regulatory framework.
Under Irukera’s guidance and with a dedicated governing board, the FCCPC has made substantial strides and recorded noteworthy accomplishments in various sectors of Nigeria’s economic landscape, ranging from banking and electricity to aviation and energy, among others.
