The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has been acknowledged as the most efficient and transparent government agency in Nigeria in an online poll.
The survey was conducted on three online platforms; LinkedIn, The Bureau Newspaper website, and Nairaland, in order to measure the public’s view of the efficiency and performance of particular Nigerian government agencies.
The evaluated agencies included the 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 showed that the FCCPC had the highest approval rating with 1,912 votes (52.48%), followed by NITDA with 866, NCC with 180, SON with 144, NAFDAC with 397, NCAA with 36, and NOSDRA with 37.
The newspaper said, “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.
“Evaluating the performance of Federal Government Agencies is crucial for understanding their impact on citizens’ lives and the nation’s overall functioning.”
The FCCPC, led by the Director General, Babatunde Irukera has made significant progress and recorded achievements in different sectors.
The commission is given to reforming the consumer protection landscape through intensified consumer education efforts.
Irukera, in an interview with ARISE NEWS in July, stated emphatically that the commission has recorded zero losses in court since its inception in 2018.
Irukera led the transition from the Consumer Protection Council to the FCCPC and played a key role in shaping its operational policies and regulatory framework.
The FCCPC, under his leadership and with a governing board, has made significant progress and recorded achievements in different sectors of the Nigerian economic landscape, from banking to electricity, aviation, energy among others.
