FCCPC’s Regulatory Role in Telecommunications Affirmed
A Nigerian court has ruled in favor of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), affirming its authority to regulate the telecommunications sector. This decision solidifies the FCCPC’s role in ensuring consumer rights, fair competition, and market practices within the industry.
The judgment addresses disputes over jurisdiction between the FCCPC and other regulators, such as the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC). With this ruling, the FCCPC now has a clearer mandate to intervene in cases of anti-competitive practices, poor service delivery, and other consumer-related issues in telecoms.
