The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to eliminate regulatory gaps in the telecoms industry. At the signing of the MoU in Abuja, the Executive Vice Chairman/CEO, FCCPC, Mr. Tunji Bello, stated that the journey to this milestone has been both challenging and rewarding, as the partnership will benefit both operators and consumers. The Vice Chairman noted that the principle behind overlapping regulations is simply serving as a mechanism to prevent issues from slipping through the cracks. He added that by design, regulations are often interwoven and overlapping. His words: “This explains the interwoven relationship between the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC). “It ensures that if one agency, due to certain limitations fails to identify or address a consumer issue or regulatory violation, the other agency, potentially with a different perspective, will be able to step in effectively. “This highlights the importance of Section 105 of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) 2018, which explicitly provides for cooperation and collaboration between the FCCPC and sector regulators.
