NMA rejects court ruling giving FCCPC power to probe medical negligence

The Nigerian Medical Association has rejected a Federal High Court ruling that affirmed the powers of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission to investigate complaints of medical negligence. The court, in a judgment delivered in Abuja on April 15, upheld the FCCPC’s authority to probe healthcare providers over alleged failures in service. In a statement, the Lagos State branch chairman of the NMA, Dr Babajide Saheed, described the ruling as surprising and troubling. He argued that Nigerian law already gives the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria exclusive responsibility for regulating medical practice, ethics and disciplinary cases, including negligence. Saheed warned that allowing an external agency such as the FCCPC to investigate medical negligence could create overlapping mandates, institutional clashes and inconsistent standards in handling sensitive healthcare matters. He said negligence cases often involve complex clinical issues that require […]

Court rejects FCCPC’s fresh bid to halt airtime lending

A Federal High Court has rejected a fresh attempt by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission to stop airtime lending services run through major telecom networks. The ruling preserves an earlier interim injunction that protects airtime and data credit providers while a substantive suit on new lending rules is being heard. The case centres on the FCCPC’s 2025 Digital, Electronic, Online or Non Traditional Consumer Lending Regulations, which the commission wants to fully enforce across digital lenders, including Airtime Credit Service providers. Industry group Wireless Application Service Providers Association of Nigeria argues that the rules place heavy and conflicting burdens on telecom based lending services already regulated by the Nigerian Communications Commission. In its latest application, the FCCPC asked the court to lift or vary the injunction so it could proceed with implementation of the new regime. Justice Lewis […]

High Court rules FCCPC can probe customers’ complaints against banks, other financial institutions

A Federal High Court in Abuja has ruled that the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has the power to investigate consumers’ complaints against banks and other financial institutions. The court, presided over by Justice James Omotosho, dismissed a suit filed by United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, which had challenged the Commission’s jurisdiction in matters involving a commercial bank licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). UBA’s case, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1972/2025, was thrown out in its entirety and the bank was fined N2 million for filing what the judge described as a frivolous and unmeritorious action. FCCPC Executive Vice Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Tunji Bello, hailed the judgment as “a big victory for bank customers,” saying it strengthens advocacy for consumer rights in the financial sector. In its statement signed by Corporate Affairs Director Ondaje Ijagwu, the Commission explained […]

FCCPC moves against non compliant digital lenders

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has begun phased enforcement against digital money lenders that failed to comply with the 2025 Digital, Electronic, Online and Non Traditional Consumer Lending Regulations. Operators were given until January 5, 2026 to regularise their operations.​ In a statement, Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Tunji Bello said the compliance window has closed and enforcement has started in a fair and orderly manner. He explained that the move is to give full effect to the new rules and ensure regulatory certainty in Nigeria’s digital lending market.​ The Commission has withdrawn conditional approvals earlier granted to some lenders that did not complete their regularisation within the transition period. These operators have now been removed from the FCCPC’s public register of approved digital lenders until they fully meet all requirements.​ Bello said the register is […]

FCCPC Rejects Meta’s Threat to Exit Nigeria Over $220 Million Fine, Calls It ‘Calculated Move’

FCCPC Stands Firm Against Meta’s Threat to Leave Nigeria The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has responded to reports of Meta Platforms Inc. threatening to exit Nigeria over a $220 million fine upheld by the courts. The fine, imposed for multiple breaches of Nigerian consumer protection and data privacy laws, has sparked a heated standoff between Meta and Nigerian authorities. In a strongly worded statement signed by its Director of Public Affairs, Ondaje Ijagwu , the FCCPC described Meta’s threat as “a calculated move aimed at inducing negative public reaction and potentially pressuring the FCCPC to reconsider its decision.” Meta’s Offenses Under Scrutiny The FCCPC accused Meta and its subsidiary WhatsApp (collectively referred to as “Meta Parties”) of repeatedly violating the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) and the Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) .

Meta Threatens to Shut Down Facebook, Instagram in Nigeria Amid Regulatory Crackdown
